Package: mininet Version: 2.2.2-2 Severity: important Tags: patch User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: origin-ubuntu bionic ubuntu-patch autopkgtest
Dear maintainers, Since the upload of mininet 2.2.2-2, the autopkgtests for this package have been consistently failing in Ubuntu: *** Adding switches: Cannot find required executable ovs-vsctl. Please make sure that Open vSwitch (openvswitch.org) is installed and available in your $PATH: (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin) autopkgtest [15:11:15]: test simple: -----------------------] simple FAIL non-zero exit status 1 http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/m/mininet/bionic/amd64 The openvswitch-switch package is only a recommends: of the binary package, so is not automatically installed in the test environment. This test failure is not reported on ci.debian.net, because the test infrastructure there does not provide machine-isolation, so these tests are skipped instead. The attached patch, which has been uploaded to Ubuntu, adds an explicit test dependency on openvswitch-switch to let it pass. Please consider applying this patch in Debian. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
