Package: autopkgtest Version: 5.47 Severity: normal Hi,
In Debusine, we moved from building VM images with debos (in a UML / KVM VM) to debefivm-create [0], which builds the base filesystem with mmdebstrap. [0]: https://salsa.debian.org/helmutg/debvm/-/blob/main/bin/debefivm-create This breaks this VM image detection logic: https://salsa.debian.org/ci-team/autopkgtest/-/blob/07eb656d26b097028c28ff743f4ea7eb71bc2d01/setup-commands/setup-testbed#L72 > if [ "$root" != "/" ] || [ -e /dev/ttyS1 ] || [ -e /dev/hvc1 ]; then $root is / and the host's serial devices are... whatever they are. Ideas: 1. We could just always install these root shell services (but they are a security risk, if these images are used for anything other than autopkgtest) 2. Detect a kernel? 3. Have a command line argument to install them? Stefano
