Hello Lee,
I can't reproduce this one: I can reliably do:
autopkgtest-build-qemu sid sid.img
autopkgtest hello_2.10-3_amd64.deb hello-2.10/ -- qemu sid.img
This on a Debian testing system running autopkgtest 5.46.
Can you please try "manually", i.e. not using your integration-test-qemu
script in an autopkgtest run?
Indeed, it works fine when running it straight from my workstation. Back to the
drawing board ...
(Maybe: you are running in emulation due to nesting, so things are
slower and you hint a timeout?)
That was my first thought, however:
# cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested
Y
So this timeout is triggered by something else. I did run the test with
autopkgtest three times in the last few days, so I falsely assumed that it's
indeed a autopkgtest issue. As such I'm closing the bug.
Thanks!
Paride
