    Hi,

    blends uses the apt cache during testing. This breaks on reproduce.d.n
    as it has an empty apt cache:

    https://reproduce.debian.net/all/#blends-common

    The attached patch avoids running the test in that case.

    In addition the sbuild team plans to clean the apt cache before building
    the package by default in forky which would make this package FTBFS.
    This would also be fixed with the patch.

    Cheers Jochen

    Hi,

    I plan to clean the apt cache by default for forky and implement that
    already in the trixie sbuild. This would make blends FTBFS unless the
    proposed patch (or something similar) is applied in forky. Please speak
    up if there is any problem with this plan. You can test the new
    behaviour with:

    sbuild --starting-build-commands='apt-get distclean' -d unstable blends

    Cheers Jochen

    Hi Ole,

    * Ole Streicher <olebole@debian.org> [2025-06-02 10:26]:
    The provided patch just disables the build time tests for the package,
    which seems not a good solution to me.

    The problem is that the test explicitly opens the apt cache and I did
    not find a way to mock that in a doctest. We could convert the tests to
    unit tests and use mock then.

    Also changing Trixie sbuild at
    this stage seems a bit contradicting to the goal of the current Trixie
    hard freeze, not?

    That's up to the release team in #1107108 but I think there is still
    time to do it.

    I'd propose to keep this as-is for Trixie.

    "it" as in blends? Yes, totally. This is all work for forky.

    After its release, couldn't
    we just add a "apt update" to re-fill the cache before running the
    tests? Or does this already count as "network access"?

    That's network access.

    Cheers Jochen

    An other option would be to run the tests as autopkgtest and add the needs-internet restriction.
