[Python-modules-team] Bug#914420: python-pytest: Breaks many Python 2 test suites

[Ole Streicher]

Package: python-pytest
Version: 3.9.3-2
Severity: serious
Affects: python-astropy, python-ccdproc, astropy-healpix, python-drizzle

Dear maintainer,

many astronomy Python packages rely on pytest for build and CI tests.
The Python 2 tests are now broken with the new version of pytest, since
the tests are not found anymore, and the test returns with exit code 5.
Depending on the build time tests, this may also cause FTBFS of some
packages.

Python 3 tests are not affected.

Best

Ole
