Hi,

please help writer2xhtml into testing.

Curently it looks like this:

$ grep-excuses -w writer2xhtml

So i386 failed. But this is not a regression.

writer2latex had libreoffice-writer2xhtml until yesterday. When I
upgraded writer2latex from 1.4 to 1.6.1 in December the i386 test passed
fine, later some month later the test started failing (i386-only!) with
the same upstream version. Maybe some OpenJDK change and/or LibreOffices
Java bridge became broken on i386 (which is unsupported upstream...) [1]

See https://ci.debian.net/packages/w/writer2latex/testing/i386/. Started
December 28 with two openjdk tests (but interestingly not with the
default JDKs test...)

So this is no regression to writer2latex and [2] happens; which clearly
says i386: Failed (not a regression).

Now writer2xhtml is a new source package (packaging initially based on
the writer2latex source package, actually it started as a clone of
writer2latex..) and took libreoffice-writer2xhtml over.
Which means that for testing migation POV for libreoffice-writer2xhtml it's
not a ignored regression anymore but "Failed" and blocks this. Which given testings
libreoffice-writer2xhtml from the writer2latex source package has that
too actually is no actual regression compared to testings
libreoffice-writer2xhtml.

Please hint writer2xhtml in.

If I see that right it'd be

force-badtest writer2xhtml/1.7.1-7

(correct me if I am wrong.)

Regards,

Rene
