Sorry, I don't follow your reasoning. python3-radicale depends on python3-vobject. radicale depends on python3-radicale which depends on python3-vobject. Seems to me from the logfile that it tests python3-radicale (not radicale) and that it installs python3-radicale as expected but then does not install python3-vobject which I would expect from dependency declared for python3-radicale - and that is what puzzles me: Seems to me that the CI routine bootstraps a broken installation. Or rephrased: It is my understanding that autopkgtest cannot know which _additional_ packages might be needed for _testing_purposes, or if some packages only _recommended_ is needed for testing purposes - but _dependencies_ need not be declared for the test, as those must be resolved by autopktest framework. If indeed this is what happens, then adding python3-vobject as an explicit dependency of the test is not a solution but instead shadows a bug somewhere else. If I am wrong in how to read and interpret the logfile then I need to understand it before acting on it. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
