Dear maintainer(s),

Your package has an autopkgtest, great. However, it fails since March
2025. Can you please investigate the situation and fix it? I copied some
of the output at the bottom of this report.

The release team has announced [1] that failing autopkgtest on amd64 and
arm64 are considered RC in testing.

More information about this bug and the reason for filing it can be
found on
https://wiki.debian.org/ContinuousIntegration/RegressionEmailInformation

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.

Paul

Hi Andreas, Hi Yaroslav,

Paul Gevers, on 2025-07-05:

python-etelemetry runs tests without declaring that the test
needs internet, which is already a problem in itself.  Tests
needing internet are expected to be skipped when not available,
if I read the code correctly.  I suppose I could just go ahead
and fix the network detection to ensure that we never run tests
needing internet in Debian quality assessment context.  That
would be the easy way out.  That being written, it seems that
the entire purpose of the python-etelemetry package is to access
the remote service that is down since March.  We are now in
November and the service is still down, which questions whether
the package is still useful.  Do you think python-etelemetry
should be removed from the archive?

Have a nice day,  :)

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
python-etelemetry, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is
attached.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 1108781@bugs.debian.org,
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.
