Control: retitle -1 pandas: random test crashes
You're right that there are multiple issues here.
--- Random test crashes (this bug):
tests/indexes/interval/test_astype.py::TestDatetimelikeSubtype::test_astype_category[index3]
on amd64; worked when retried, also works here
tests/reshape/test_tile.py::TestDatelike::test_qcut_nat[timedelta64[ns]]
on mips64el; worked when retried
Only seen in -6, but given their intermittency this isn't proof that
they're new. If they are new, they're probably changes in some
dependency, as the actual -5 to -6 change is in a different test. Not
found in a search of upstream issues.
--- Bootstrap issue (arch:all BD-Uninstallable):
python3-pandas is arch:all (so last successfully built in -4), and is no
longer in the sid Packages list at all. (I don't know if this always
happens this quickly.)
arch:all pandas build-depends on itself via python3-statsmodels and
python3-xarray.
These are used in some tests (which skip, not fail, if they are not
available), and some documentation examples (which leave error messages
in the documentation, but don't fail the build).
Hence, a solution to this is to drop those build-dependencies for one
upload.
--- Failure with statsmodels 0.9:
This looks like something that should actually be fixed in statsmodels,
not worked around in a pandas test, as it can also break actual use:

--------
Hence, I plan to upload (but haven't yet tested):
pandas
- Revert the -6 patch and skip the test instead
- Temporarily drop statsmodels+xarray build-dependencies
- Add xarray autopkgtest-dependency
statsmodels
- Apply the above upstream patch
I also plan to investigate what causes these test crashes, but this may
be hard if I can't reproduce them.
