[Bug 1981475] [NEW] Sync pytest 7.1.2-2 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Dan Bungert (dbungert):

Please sync pytest 7.1.2-2 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
- Apply upstream patch to fix test_trial_error test
v7.1.2 has this fix applied, so the patch should be dropped

- Run the unittests autopkgtest with restrictions: allow-stderr
This appears no longer necessary.


I propose the sync of pytest3 from Debian.
This will begin a transition.

I have started a rebuild test, at least on amd64:
* https://launchpad.net/~dbungert/+archive/ubuntu/pytest-7
* https://people.canonical.com/~dbungert/pytest-7/

The list of packages to rebuild was based on the output of:
grep-dctrl -FBuild-Depends "pytest" \
    -n -sPackage,Version /var/lib/apt/lists/*Sources

Of these over 1300 builds, 65 failed, coming in at about a 5% failure
rate.
https://launchpad.net/~dbungert/+archive/ubuntu/pytest-7/+builds?build_text=&build_state=failed

An additional 158 packages have Reverse-Testsuite-Triggers on pytest
without a declared build dependency.  I was able to run about half
that autopkgtest set for amd64 yesterday.  During that time I did see
a few autopkgtest failures of things not currently failing:
crmsh
dijitso
django-redis
dolfin
fenics-dolfinx
ffc
gpyfft
jc
ktimetracker
kytos-utils
libflame
pygmsh

This suggests that we should expect to see another dozen autopkgtest
failures when triggered with pytest-7.
