Dear maintainer,

According to https://ci.debian.net data, your package pylint has an
autopkgtest regression with pytest.

The following architectures failed: amd64, arm64, i386, loong64,
ppc64el, riscv64, s390x.

Hopefully relevant excerpt from
https://ci.debian.net/packages/p/pylint/testing/amd64/72542056/
follows:
