Package: autopkgtest Version: 4.2 Severity: normal When running 'autopkgtest -s -- schroot unstable-amd64-sbuild', quilt patches are applied when building the package, but they are not applied in tests-tree / real-tree. Those directories look just like the current directory when issuing the autopkgtest command, possibly with just half the quilt series applied. This is confusing, and should be changed to apply all patches like for the build stage.
I noticed this while working on an autopkgtest-related fix to libhttp-throwable-perl's upstream test suite (c.f. #837140), with the above command first succeeding and then failing for an unchanged source package... -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (700, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages autopkgtest depends on: ii apt-utils 1.3.1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.18.14 ii procps 2:3.3.12-2 ii python3 3.5.1-4 ii python3-debian 0.1.29 Versions of packages autopkgtest recommends: ii autodep8 0.8 Versions of packages autopkgtest suggests: pn lxc <none> pn lxd-client <none> ii qemu-system 1:2.7+dfsg-3+b1 ii qemu-utils 1:2.7+dfsg-3+b1 ii schroot 1.6.10-2+b2 -- no debconf information
