Package: autopkgtest Version: 5.7 Severity: important One of the build time test cases make a call to the pidof command. This command is provided through the sysvinit-utils package.
So, either the sysvinit-utils package needs to be added as a dependency or the test case be changed to get rid of the pidof call rrs@priyasi:/var/tmp/Debian-Build/development/autopkgtest/autopkgtest-5.7$ grep -Ri pidof * ssh-setup/adb: adb $ADBOPTS shell 'while ! pidof accounts-daemon >/dev/null; do sleep 1; done' ssh-setup/adb: adb $ADBOPTS shell 'kill `pidof system-settings-wizard` 2>/dev/null' ssh-setup/adb: while ! pidof powerd-cli >/dev/null; do sleep 0.1; done" ssh-setup/adb: adb $ADBOPTS shell 'while ! pidof NetworkManager >/dev/null; do sleep 1; done' tests/autopkgtest: self.assertEqual(subprocess.getoutput('pidof ' + procname), '') 17:58 ♒♒♒ ☺ 😄 -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages autopkgtest depends on: ii apt-utils 1.8.0~alpha3 ii libdpkg-perl 1.19.2 ii procps 2:3.3.15-2 ii python3 3.7.1-3 ii python3-debian 0.1.33 Versions of packages autopkgtest recommends: pn autodep8 <none> Versions of packages autopkgtest suggests: pn lxc <none> pn lxd <none> ii ovmf 0~20181115.85588389-2 ii qemu-efi-aarch64 0~20181115.85588389-2 pn qemu-efi-arm <none> ii qemu-system 1:3.1+dfsg-2+b1 ii qemu-utils 1:3.1+dfsg-2+b1 pn schroot <none> pn vmdb2 <none>
