Hello and thanks for this bug report. It may be that your autopkgtest-unstable-amd64 container was built with autopkgtest (<< 5.36), which does not contain this change: https://salsa.debian.org/ci-team/autopkgtest/-/commit/5c0be5c30c3c028 New systemd versions (you get because of --apt-upgrade) default to having a tmpfs for /tmp, and this may somehow cause the issue you're seeing. Can you please verify this by recreating the containers from scratch with autopkgtest-build-lxc from autopkgtest 5.42? Should you still face the problem, could you please provide more complete steps to reproduce the problem? Thanks! -- Paride
