i agree, i will take a look this week. While it is an issue in the test, I
know things pass in sbuild+ unshare which doesnt have any dhclient.
I have not checked but from the above i think that the issue is actually
that your container doesnt even have the "lo" interface configured?
It is still true that the test should work without lo, or bring it up that
if it wants it available, but i wanted to check that was intentional part
of debusine?
sbuild does a
system("ip", "link", "set", "lo", "up")
if networking is disabled (in sbuild-libnsexec) so this would be a
difference.
