Dear maintainer(s),

Your package has an autopkgtest, great. I looked at the results of the
autopkgtest of your package. I noticed that it regularly fails due to
times out due to autopkgtest. Can you please investigate the situation
and fix it? I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report,
but I didn't check if it always hang in the same test.

The release team has announced [1] that failing autopkgtest on amd64 and
arm64 are considered RC in testing. Also tests that time out are bad for
our infrastructure. I have added your package to our reject_list and
will remove it once this bug is closed.

More information about this bug and the reason for filing it can be
found on

The situation is as you report: pymatgen tests are sometimes flaky.

We may have to just skip test_rotor_search_rrs but I'll check if
upstream knows how to improve the test first.
