Source: autopktest
Version: 5.2
Severity: normal
User: [email protected]
Usertags: issue
In the case of migration testing, the following issue may occur.
Autopkgtest inspects the test of package A from testing, as that is what
it wants to run. Then, it requests apt to install package B (the package
under investigation for migration) from unstable. Due to dependency
issues (not clear to me where this goes wrong yet in this case, but
there is an autopkgtest fallback mode ongoing), package A may actually
be installed from unstable and there is a mismatch between the test
version and the tested version of package A, causing undesired failure.
A current example is fig2dev which is run for texlive-base (log
attached, taken from
https://ci.debian.net/data/autopkgtest/testing/amd64/f/fig2dev/180600/log.gz).

I am filling this bug to store the information. I don't know yet what
autopkgtest should actually do in this case. Maybe the solution lies
even with britney, that could become smarter in triggering. If it
already knows there is a dependency issue, it could trigger the set,
such that the test suite is already taken from unstable to begin with.
