Public bug reported:
Currently dnspython 2.0.0-1 is stuck in groovy-proposed due to its own
autopkgtests failing. After investigating a bit further, it can be seen
that the failing (and hanging) tests are ones related to UDP DNS queries
using IPv6, which were not tested in the previous dnspython versions.
This particularly means the testQueryUDP* tests from tests_query and
tests_async (but there's more). The testing suite tries to be as smart
as possible and checks for IPv6 connectivity before trying to validate
IPv6, but on our infrastructure those checks pass but the UDP tests do
not.
This rises the question if the autopkgtest infrastructure (with the
network proxy) simply intervenes in the testing, causing those tests to
fail, or is this feature broken in Ubuntu. It's worth noting that these
autopkgtests are passing fine on Debian.
I have tried preparing an IPv6 setup to check which one is it, but sadly I was
unable to get one configured properly - no IPv6 support from my ISP, nor was I
able to get IPv6 working via a VPN.
We need someone to check that the failing bits work on a regular setup or not -
if yes, we can then simply disable the IPv6 checks in the package and let it
migrate.
