Hello Noah, (Should it help to put a face to this email: we met in Busan, and briefly discussed about "why Azure Linux" during one lunch.) Thanks for filing this bug report and for links to commits and test logs. This is indeed a duplicate of #1080981, and the issue is with the trailing comma after the latest Recommend (as I see you figured out already). I verified this manually with fence-agents so I feel confident merging the two bugs. We now cover this case in tests (test_recommends_of_multiple_packages). This is fixed in autopkgtest master; I'll try to cut a new version of autopkgtest with the fix in the next few days. Cheers, Paride
