Package: autopkgtest Version: 4.1 Severity: minor Tags: patch While testing a package (sorry, I don't remember how to reproduce this) I got a failure from source_rules_command(), in which 3 lines of results were apparently expected but 4 were received, or possibly the other way round. This is an unhelpful message, because it didn't tell me what the 4 lines that were received *were*.
The attached patch makes this somewhat easier to diagnose. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.7.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages autopkgtest depends on: ii apt-utils 1.3.1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.18.10 ii procps 2:3.3.12-2 ii python3 3.5.1-4 ii python3-debian 0.1.29 Versions of packages autopkgtest recommends: ii autodep8 0.8 Versions of packages autopkgtest suggests: pn lxc <none> pn lxd-client <none> ii qemu-system 1:2.7+dfsg-1 ii qemu-utils 1:2.7+dfsg-1 ii schroot 1.6.10-2+b1 -- no debconf information
