[Logan Rosen]

Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/792060:

Source: beets
Version: 1.3.8+dfsg-2
Severity: serious
Tags: sid stretch
Justification: fails to build from source
User: <email address hidden>
Usertags: ftbfs

Dear Maintainer,

The package fails to build. This test always fails:

======================================================================
FAIL: test_read_audio_properties (test_mediafile.AlacTest)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/buildd/beets-1.3.8+dfsg/test/test_mediafile.py", line 423, in test_read_audio_properties
    self.assertEqual(getattr(mediafile, key), value)
AssertionError: 16 != 0

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 1281 tests in 46.102s

FAILED (failures=1, skipped=15)

Additionally, if the package is built with CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE (e.g. as local root),
this test also fails:

======================================================================
FAIL: test_no_write_permission (test_library.WriteTest)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/beets-1.3.8+dfsg/test/test_library.py", line 1062, in test_no_write_permission
    self.assertRaises(beets.library.WriteError, self.i.write)
AssertionError: WriteError not raised

This bug was fixed in the package beets - 1.3.19-2

---------------
beets (1.3.19-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fix occasional FTBFS due to lack of mock cleanup. Thanks Santiago Vila.
    (Closes: #835937)
  * Fix autopkgtests by adding the test dependencies, and a sane unittest
    incantation.
  * Drop unittest2 and nose Build-Depends, no longer used.
