[Bug 1073856] Re: Test depends cannot be multiline and are silently ignored if so

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

this is the faulty regex in runner/adt-run

1233: initre = regexp.compile('([A-Z][-0-9a-zA-Z]*)\s*\:\s*(.*)$')

Title:
  Test depends cannot be multiline and are silently ignored if so

Status in “autopkgtest” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  If I define a test like this:

  Tests: foo
  Depends: @, libfoo,
    libbar

  then autopackage test will prepare this test without libbar and
  without giving any sort of malformed warning.

  This seems really wrong, as debian/control files normally support this
  sort of multiline listing of dependencies
