Do you have any idea what happened?
Hi Paul, I have no idea, sorry. Recently I upgraded to lintian 2.129.0 and am now running it into a forky container (instead of as a backport on stable), but that should not change anything about how results are exposed to britney. Also, source-only sources packages (source packages with no binaries tested yet) are properly reported in https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/lintian-britney.cgi: mssstest/3.0-8: architectures: source tags: {} According to UDD's lintian_logs table, it never failed to process textdraw/0.2+ds-2 (see udd> select * from lintian_logs where source='textdraw' order by ts desc; ) However, at the time the bug was reported (06:17:48 +0100), UDD hadn't processed textdraw/0.2+ds-2 yet (it was processed at 06:49:21), but it looks like this wasn't reached: https://salsa.debian.org/release-team/britney2/-/blob/master/britney2/policies/lintian.py#L93 The two packages where lintian is reporting a crash in https://release.debian.org/britney/update_excuses.html are vala-panel and 0xffff, where lintian indeed crashed (due to #1128262) Lucas
