Package: autopkgtest Version: 5.44 Severity: normal Hi,
I am trying to use the unshare backend of autopkgtest to test adduser. The manual page autopkgtes-virt-unshare suggests that this should work out of the box even if no tarball was created before, by automatically invoking mmdebstrap. This does not seem to be the case: mh@ganchotestff:~/packages/adduser/adduser-3.138$ autopkgtest . -- unshareautopkgtest [14:14:29]: starting date and time: 2025-02-16 14:14:29+0100 autopkgtest [14:14:29]: version 5.44 autopkgtest [14:14:29]: host ganchotestff; command line: /usr/bin/autopkgtest . -- unshare ['mmdebstrap', '--variant=apt', '--skip=output/mknod,cleanup/apt/lists', '--customize-hook=sed "s/^deb /deb-src /" "$1/etc/apt/sources.list" > "$1/etc/apt/sources.list.d/src.list" && APT_CONFIG=$MMDEBSTRAP_APT_CONFIG apt-get update', '*', '/tmp/tmp772tvxkz/chroot.tar'] failed (exit status 25, stderr "sh: 1: printf: usage: printf format [arg ...]\nI: automatically chosen mode: unshare\nI: chroot architecture amd64 is equal to the host's architecture\nI: automatically chosen format: tar\nI: using /tmp/mmdebstrap.Uew3yfTcE1 as tempdir\nI: skipping output/mknod as requested for ./dev/console\nI: skipping output/mknod as requested for ./dev/full\nI: skipping output/mknod as requested for ./dev/null\nI: skipping output/mknod as requested for ./dev/ptmx\nI: skipping output/mknod as requested for ./dev/random\nI: skipping output/mknod as requested for ./dev/tty\nI: skipping output/mknod as requested for ./dev/urandom\nI: skipping output/mknod as requested for ./dev/zero\nI: running apt-get update...\nIgn:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian * InRelease\nErr:2 http://deb.debian.org/debian * Release\n 404 Not Found [IP: 2a04:4e42:8e::644 80]\nReading package lists...\nE: The repository 'http://deb.debian.org/debian * Release' does not have a Release file.\nE: apt-get update--error-on=any -oAPT::Status-Fd=<$fd> -oDpkg::Use-Pty=false failed\nW: hooklistener errored out: E: received eof on socket\n\nI: main() received signal PIPE: waiting for setup...\nI: removing tempdir /tmp/mmdebstrap.Uew3yfTcE1...\nE: mmdebstrap failed to run\n") autopkgtest [14:14:30]: ERROR: testbed failure: unexpected eof from the testbed Exception ignored in: <_io.TextIOWrapper name=6 encoding='UTF-8'> BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe mh@ganchotestff:~/packages/adduser/adduser-3.138$ This error message is nearly unreadable. I guess that the system is trying to execute mmdebstrap --variant=apt --skip=output/mknod,cleanup/apt/lists --customize-hook='sed "s/^deb /deb-src /" "$1/etc/apt/sources.list" > "$1/etc/apt/sources.list.d/src.list" && APT_CONFIG=$MMDEBSTRAP_APT_CONFIG apt-get update' '*' '/tmp/tmp772tvxkz/chroot.tar' I might have gotten the quoting wrong (maybe there are single quotes missing around the paramters of --customize-hook, what does the single asterisk mean here that seems to end up in the source.list file, and since there are unexpanded environment variable this cannot work. And it doesn't: mh@ganchotestff:~/packages/adduser/adduser-3.138$ mmdebstrap --variant=apt --skip=output/mknod,cleanup/apt/lists --customize-hook='sed "s/^deb /deb-src /" "$1/etc/apt/sources.list" > "$1/etc/apt/sources.list.d/src.list" && APT_CONFIG=$MMDEBSTRAP_APT_CONFIG apt-get updat' '*' '/tmp/tmp772tvxkz/chroot.tar' sh: 1: printf: usage: printf format [arg ...] I: automatically chosen mode: unshare I: chroot architecture amd64 is equal to the host's architecture I: automatically chosen format: tar I: using /tmp/mmdebstrap.kJOwsBd7zk as tempdir I: skipping output/mknod as requested for ./dev/console I: skipping output/mknod as requested for ./dev/full I: skipping output/mknod as requested for ./dev/null I: skipping output/mknod as requested for ./dev/ptmx I: skipping output/mknod as requested for ./dev/random I: skipping output/mknod as requested for ./dev/tty I: skipping output/mknod as requested for ./dev/urandom I: skipping output/mknod as requested for ./dev/zero I: running apt-get update... done Ign:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian * InRelease Err:2 http://deb.debian.org/debian * Release 404 Not Found [IP: 2a04:4e42:70::644 80] Reading package lists...

Please also note the leading "sh: 1: printf: usage: printf format [arg ...]" which seems to come from some shell script. In some document that isn't mentioned in the man page, I learned how to create an sbuild tarball with TMPDIR=/var/tmp mmdebstrap --include=ca-certificates --skip=output/dev --variant=buildd unstable ~/.cache/sbuild/unstable-amd64.tar.zst http://debian.debian.zugschlus.de/debian With this, autopkgtest fails differntly: mh@ganchotestff:~/packages/adduser/adduser-3.138$ autopkgtest . -- unshareautopkgtest [14:25:39]: starting date and time: 2025-02-16 14:25:39+0100 autopkgtest [14:25:39]: version 5.44 autopkgtest [14:25:39]: host ganchotestff; command line: /usr/bin/autopkgtest . -- unshare autopkgtest [14:25:41]: testbed dpkg architecture: amd64 autopkgtest [14:25:41]: testbed apt version: 2.9.29 autopkgtest [14:25:41]: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ test bed setup autopkgtest [14:25:41]: testbed release detected to be: None autopkgtest [14:25:41]: testbed running kernel: Linux 6.12.13-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.12.13-1 (2025-02-09) autopkgtest [14:25:41]: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ unbuilt-tree . autopkgtest [14:25:41]: testing package adduser version 3.138 autopkgtest [14:25:41]: build needed for binaries autopkgtest [14:25:41]: ERROR: Failed to resolve build-deps for /tmp/autopkgtest.F3SxDS/build.sU5/real-tree; apt-get --simulate output: autopkgtest [14:25:41]: ERROR: | Note, using directory '/tmp/autopkgtest.F3SxDS/build.sU5/real-tree' to get the build dependencies autopkgtest [14:25:41]: ERROR: | Reading package lists... autopkgtest [14:25:41]: ERROR: | Building dependency tree... autopkgtest [14:25:41]: ERROR: | Reading state information... autopkgtest [14:25:41]: ERROR: | Some packages could not be installed.
