Package: dgit Version: 11.5 Severrity: serious dgit's autopkgtest is failing and this is (at leasat one of the reasons) preventing src:curl from migrating. I have investigated one of the failing tests, dgits `clone-nogit` test case.
This failing test sets up a dummy HTTP server using libhttp-server-simple-static-perl. It then runs a dgit operation which involves dgit using libcurl (via libwww-curl-perl) to access that server. The failing HTTP transaction unfolds as follows: dgit asks for a resource which the test case wants to reply to with 404. libhttp-server-simple-static-perl doesn't handle that very nicely, so dgit's stunt HTTP server perl script has ad-hoc code so make a suitable 404 response. For simplicity, the stunt server responds using HTTP/1.0. I straced it so I could see the actual response (see below). Observe that the httpd is responding to a HEAD request but it is supplying a body. Apparently libcurl treats that as an error now. The test ought to be fixed. But I will file a separate bug against curl in case this is felt to be a compatibility hazard. (The stunt http server is in src:dgit as tests/http-static-server.)
