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

[Julian Taylor]

why use a regex at all, this is what I use in my own (awful) adtrunner
depends = depends.replace("(", " ").replace("[", " ")
packages = [x.split()[0] for x in depends.split(",")]

depends is a string from debian.deb822

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
