Hi,

While investigating a test failure in autopkgtests' autopkgtests, I
noted a warning from `debhelper` that the package uses compat 9, which
as been deprecated.

Please go through tests and bump to a more modern compat level where
possible. Both stable and oldstable has `debhelper/13+` with
oldoldstable having `debhelper/12+`


Best regards,
Niels

Hi,

Botched the submission. Quoting in full for the maintainer.

Hi Niels,

Sorry for not replying earlier.

Ack. However, we're trying to run our own tests on Ubuntu trusty (in
salsaci, not during migration testing) as long as that's supported and
as long as we can. So we'd like to not bump the compat level of our test
packages until we have to. Alternatively we'd need to enhance our test
to either do something different on old testbeds (I don't anticipate
we'd do that) or skip the tests on trusty that would fail with a higher
compat level.

Unfortunately the current support date for trusty seems to be April 2029.

Having said all that, don't feel burned to keep the compat level for us.
It's only for testing.

Paul

PS I found this out by trying. I didn't really think and saw the test
fail with:
Removing autopkgtest-satdep:amd64 because I can't find
debhelper-compat:amd64
