If the offending tests all contain the string "docstring" (as is the case in #1008369), I'd just skip those for now. This could be as simple as adding "not doctest" to "EXCLUDE_TESTS" in debian/rules and to "exclude_tests" in debian/tests/python3. I think in the past, even larger parts of the test suite have been omitted temporarily to easily deal with transient stuff. Otherwise, I think waiting until 1.1 wouldn't be too bad. I don't think the effort of anything more than pulling a patch or two from 1.1 are worth it, if the issue will indeed be resolved shortly with the new upstream release. > Thanks for your understanding. > > Best regards, > > Chiara > > [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1008369 > <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1008369> > [2] https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2022/03/msg00048.html > <https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2022/03/msg00048.html> Best, Christian
