Package: autopkgtest Version: 5.1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Because I need some VM level separation, I have to use qemu for testing my package. Unfortunately, when I run my tests (there are a fair amount of them), most of the time one test fails with a virtual host creation issue. As far as I can tell it usually fails at the same test case but I think this is happen because the bug is depending on the number of the created virtual host not because of the test case itself. Especially because I run the same test script just on different package set. Previously, when I was running the test with debug it has more chance to success, but not any more. By the way, the package, I try to use autpktest with is syslog-ng. The command I run is: autopkgtest --debug syslog-ng_3.13.2-4~1.gbpa514e1_amd64.changes -- qemu /var/cache/autopkgtest/autopkgtest-sid.img And the error message I receive is the following: autopkgtest [09:35:09]: test basic: - - - - - - - - - - results - - - - - - - - - - basic PASS autopkgtest: DBG: sending command to testbed: copyup /tmp/autopkgtest.a1psrU/basic-artifacts/ /tmp/autopkgtest.output.k7snm27u/artifacts/ autopkgtest: DBG: got reply from testbed: ok autopkgtest: DBG: testbed command ['rm', '-rf', '/tmp/autopkgtest.a1psrU/basic-artifacts', '/tmp/autopkgtest.a1psrU/autopkgtest_tmp'], kind short, sout raw, serr pipe, env [] autopkgtest: DBG: testbed command exited with code 0 autopkgtest: DBG: no need to restore click AppArmor profiles autopkgtest [09:35:10]: test basic: preparing testbed autopkgtest: DBG: testbed reset: modified=False, deps_installed=['syslog-ng-core', 'syslog-ng-mod-mongodb'](r: False), deps_new=['syslog-ng-core', 'syslog-ng-mod-sql'](r: False) autopkgtest: DBG: testbed reset autopkgtest: DBG: sending command to testbed: revert qemu-system-x86_64: terminating on signal 15 from pid 4318 (/usr/bin/python3) qemu-system-x86_64: terminating on signal 15 from pid 4318 (/usr/bin/python3) <VirtSubproc>: failure: timed out on client shared directory setup autopkgtest: DBG: TestbedFailure unexpected eof from the testbed autopkgtest: DBG: testbed stop autopkgtest: DBG: testbed close, scratch=/tmp/autopkgtest.a1psrU autopkgtest: DBG: sending command to testbed: close autopkgtest: DBG: TestbedFailure cannot send to testbed: [Errno 32] Broken pipe autopkgtest: DBG: testbed stop autopkgtest [09:35:36]: ERROR: testbed failure: cannot send to testbed: [Errno 32] Broken pipe autopkgtest: DBG: testbed stop Last time I felt enough debug-fu in myself I discovered that when this happens, the serial console is unaccessible. Unfortunately I know barely anything about qemu I just get to know how it can be used. But if somebody points me in the right direction I can do more tests. By the way, I just run the test to check how long it need to show the error message, but now it passed. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages autopkgtest depends on: ii apt-utils 1.6~alpha7 ii libdpkg-perl 1.19.0.5 ii procps 2:3.3.12-4 ii python3 3.6.4-1 ii python3-debian 0.1.32 Versions of packages autopkgtest recommends: ii autodep8 0.11.1 Versions of packages autopkgtest suggests: pn lxc <none> pn lxd-client <none> ii qemu-system 1:2.11+dfsg-1 ii qemu-utils 1:2.11+dfsg-1 ii schroot 1.6.10-4 -- no debconf information
