Control: block -1 by 1123630 I went to look at this failure. There is one failing autopkgtest, `shunit2` [1]:
It says things like this: 81s expected:<mk-origtargz warn: No files matched excluded pattern as the last matching glob: exclude-dir1> but was:<using Dpkg::Version->is_native() has been made incoherent and confusing on some dpkg vendors; it is deprecated as not having portable semantics anymore at /tmp/autopkgtest-lxc.qhukk53x/downtmp/build.r05/src/lib/Devscripts/MkOrigtargz/Config.pm line 132. There are quite a lot of these. They seem to be error-case tests, that check for particular error messages. The tests are disrupted because in each case an additional deprecation warning is printed about Dpkg::Version->is_native(). In #1123630 I have asked the dpkg maintainer to reconsider this new warning. If we /were/ to make a code change to devscripts, it's not clear what devscripts ought to do instead. The only option I thought of so far is to do an ad-hoc, open-coded, m/-/ on the version string. I suggest we wait for guidance from the dpkg maintainer. It's hard to see the wood for the trees, but I think this is the only kind of failure. Ian.
