The goal of the test is to run the hexedit and check if it fails or not. Running this test over hexedit 1.5-1 and an empty file (see #971796), we will have a fail and it will break the test. Test-Command: xvfb-run -a hexedit debian/tests/empty & Depends: @, xauth, xvfb command2 FAIL stderr: Floating point exception (core dumped) autopkgtest [15:16:09]: test command2: - - - - - - - - - - stderr - - - - - - - - - - Floating point exception (core dumped) autopkgtest [15:16:09]: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ summary command1 PASS (superficial) command2 FAIL stderr: Floating point exception (core dumped) I am sure this test is useful and I think that it should remain in debian/tests/control.
