Hi Julien, Thanks for reporting issues.

Are you talking here about how Debian (or Ubuntu) tests packages for migration, or are you talking about your own setup? Do you have a proposal for the text? However, I fully agree with you for the Debian case. Therefore I changed the text that will be shown when the apt fallback is disabled. This was all implemented in merge request 29 (https://salsa.debian.org/ci-team/autopkgtest/merge_requests/29). The future text will be for Debian will be: ''' Test dependencies are unsatisfiable. A common reason is that the requested apt pinning prevented dependencies from the non-default suite to be installed. In that case you need to add those dependencies to the pinning list. ''' However, after receiving this bug I wonder if it wouldn't be better to fully drop the "A common reason" text (also in the current text). Do you think that helps? Paul
