Hi,

I happened to run into the fact that the autopkgtest of src:esorex fails
in unstable and testing. It fails because one of the test dependencies
has been removed in 2024. Failing tests on amd64 and arm64 are
considered RC [1].

With my Release Team member hat on I have tagged this as trixie-ignore
as it's so late in the freeze and it's not worth removing the package
from trixie because of this at this moment. Having said that, if a fix
is possible without fully removing the autopkgtest and without making
the test superficial, it's still welcome, but it would need to happen soon.

Hi Paul,

that was an unexpected side effect of the removal of all pipelines. And
since none of this were left in Debian, I am afraid that there is no
simple fix except making the autopkgtest superficially trivial.

The real solution would be to somehow create a minimal pipeline (or
recipe) on-the-fly or as an extra package and use that for the test; but
that is not a quick solution, and I support moving this to after the
Trixie release, keeping the package in Trixie.

Best
