Public bug reported:
the autopkgtests for the kernel include 'ubuntu-regression-suite' which
contains this test:
sver=`dpkg-parsechangelog -SVersion`
read x rver x </proc/version_signature
flavour=${rver#*-*-}
rver=${rver%-$flavour}
echo "Source Package Version: $sver"
echo "Running Kernel Version: $rver"
if [ "$sver" != "$rver" ]; then
echo "ERROR: running version does not match source package" 1>&2
exit 1
fi
However, when testing a -lts or -hwe kernel build, the running kernel will not
match because the running kernel is the stock version while the
building/testing kernel is the newer -lts/-hwe version.
This failure results in autopkgtest errors for all other packages that
invoke linux autopkgtests - for example, initramfs-tools. This requires
unnecessary work to investigate the autopkgtest errors every time, only
to find it's a autopkgtest error.
