Hi Bastian,

I tried a rebuild of git 1:2.28.0-1, 1:2.29.2-1 and 1:2.30.0-1 in an unstable
chroot on barriere.debian.org, and they all succeeded. It also seems the
builds on the buildds succeeded for all the versions recently uploaded.

Can you still reproduce this issue? And are you able to reproduce it on a
porterbox?

Cheers,

Ivo

Hi Ivo

The problem only shows if
- the tests run in verbose mode and
- the tests directly write output to a terminal.

In this case the tested git command reads the size of the output and
adjustd itself.  Also in this case the test output is colored.

So plain dpkg-buildpackage is affected, but buildds are not as they
redirect anything to a file.

I can't any longer.  Somewhere there showed up a "make -O", which forces
all calls to run with output redirected to a file.  So it works around
the problem right now.

Hi Bastian,

Thanks for the clarification.

OK. As the package builds fine, I'm downgrading the bug.

Cheers,

Ivo
