Dear maintainer:

During a rebuild of all packages in unstable using the nocheck build profile,
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/202609/

A wiki page discussing how to reproduce bugs in this category and
possible solutions is available here:

https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS/nocheck

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:python-openclatura, so that this is still
visible in the BTS web page for this package.

Thanks.

Hi. Sorry for the reopening. Apparently, whatever you did in
0.3.2+ds-1 did not work for 0.3.3+ds-1.

This is what I get currently:

I've used my script "check-nocheck" (linked from the wiki page)
and this was the outcome:


==== Checking annotations for package python-openclatura ====
Trying with all build-dependencies
Build worked
Trying without python3-hypothesis
Build worked, it is ok to keep python3-hypothesis <!nocheck>
Trying without python3-pytest
Build worked, it is ok to keep python3-pytest <!nocheck>
Trying without python3-rdkit
Build did NOT work, python3-rdkit should not have <!nocheck>
==== build-dependencies that should drop their <!nocheck> annotation ====
python3-rdkit


Therefore, the attached patch should work. (Note: I do not claim that
this is the only way possible to fix the issue).

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for investigating the cause of the failure. I have just dropped
<!nocheck> from python3-rdkit and uploaded as -2.

Best wishes,
Andrius
