Dear maintainer:

During a rebuild of all packages in unstable, this package failed to build.

Below you will find the last part of the build log (probably the most
relevant part, but not necessarily). If required, the full build log
is available here:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/202606/

About the archive rebuild: The build was made on virtual machines from AWS,
using sbuild and a reduced chroot with only build-essential packages.

If you cannot reproduce the bug please contact me privately, as I
am willing to provide ssh access to a virtual machine where the bug is
fully reproducible.

If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use
reassign and add an affects on src:httrack, so that this is still
visible in the BTS web page for this package.

Thanks.

From:
To:
This FTBFS is already fixed. tests/28_local-pause measured a 0s/0s crawl and
failed instead of skipping because the Debian buildds have no python3 (the
local test server it needs), so the test ran serverless. 3.49.10-2, uploaded
2026-06-28, carries debian/patches/skip-local-pause-test-without-python3.patch
which guards the test on python3 up front and skips it cleanly, like its
sibling local-server tests. That upload predates this report, so it did not
reference the bug.

The test itself is also fixed upstream in master: it now skips when python3 is
absent instead of running serverless and reporting a bogus 0s delta.

Thanks,
Xavier
