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/202610/ 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-httptools, so that this is still visible in the BTS web page for this package. Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] Skipping SOURCES.txt running install_scripts dh_installdocs -O--buildsystem=pybuild dh_installchangelogs -O--buildsystem=pybuild dh_python3 -O--buildsystem=pybuild E: dh_python3 fs:312: python3-httptools includes a common build directory name 'tests' as a module.

I tried to fix this probably fairly trivial bug, only to find that the
build fails for unrelated reasons, and the repository on Salsa is a
mess:

This clearly shouldn't have been pushed, as it's broken and nobody is
planning to fix it. What do you want me to do with it? Shall I just
move your commits to a branch and roll back debian/master to the last
release, or do you have work in progress somewhere to fix this?
Thanks,
By the way, I should say that I really appreciate the huge amount of excellent QA work that you do in general! I just want to have some idea of what's best to do when work is incomplete, that's all. Thanks,
