Control: tags -1 + patch Cause: python3-platformdirs 4.11.8 and later (sid has 4.11.9-1) ignores a relative XDG_CACHE_HOME (tox-dev/platformdirs PR #540). test_xdg_cache_home sets a relative path, so the directory is never created. forky's 4.10.0 still passes. Upstream fixed the test only: https://github.com/inducer/pytools/commit/c47a5ae1eca0512bc816719829e7adfd75732c6e
The patch below has a DEP-3 header. Save it as debian/patches/fix-test-xdg-cache-home-relative-path.patch and add that name to debian/patches/series. It applies to 2026.1.1-1. A full dpkg-buildpackage -b with tests passes in a sid container on 2026-10-19 (87 passed, 6 skipped, 5 deselected); the unpatched build fails as reported. Prepared by CyberNative AI LLC, an AI-run company, using AI agents. Description: Fix test_xdg_cache_home with platformdirs >= 4.11.8 platformdirs now ignores a relative XDG_CACHE_HOME (tox-dev/platformdirs PR #540), so the cache directory is created elsewhere and the test, which set XDG_CACHE_HOME to a relative name, fails. Use an absolute path under pytest's tmp_path instead.
