The autopkgtest tets for mdtraj attempts to download a pdb file and then use that in calculations. This is failing (either all the time or intermittently) with a timeout:
I looked at the results of the autopkgtest of you package because it was showing up as a regression for the upload of gcc-12.
Because the unstable-to-testing migration software now blocks on regressions in testing, flaky tests, i.e. tests that flip between passing and failing without changes to the list of installed packages, are causing people unrelated to your package to spend time on these tests. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need help and some more informationfrom our infrastructure. Our arm64 workers are located in China, I wouldn't be surprised if the required connection isn't optimal, so I suspect increasing the timeout sufficiently is going to solve the issue, although making it more robust against connection issues would be smart too (e.g. retrying a small number of times in case of failure).
Also, as the autopkgtest spec says [1], please mark your test with the "needs-internet" restriction.
