When the ‘towncrier’ library is installed at upstream version “25.8.0” or
later, the ‘sphinxcontrib-towncrier’ test suite fails; the
‘tests/_towncrier_test.py::test_towncrier_config_section_missing’ test case
fails.

=====

You can see this failure in the “experimental” suite:
<URL:https://ci.debian.net/packages/s/sphinxcontrib-towncrier/unstable/amd64/71705956/>

The migration of ‘src:towncrier/25.8.0-1’ is blocked by this test suite
regression; I am marking this bug as blocking bug#1136347.

This test case failure is because the test case is incompatible with recent
changes in ‘towncrier’.

The upstream ‘sphinxcontrib-towncrier’ project has addressed this bug in
recently released version “0.5.0a0”, available at
<URL:https://pypi.org/project/sphinxcontrib-towncrier/0.5.0a0/>.

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
sphinxcontrib-towncrier, 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 1138673@bugs.debian.org,
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.
