I'll be damned. That's the issue, indeed. I tried to reproduce with a fresh `hello` but couldn't so I wrongly concluded that it was because it wasn't on the image.
I'd argue it's still a bug, as in *this should be documented*! I'd never consider that an unpackage source package would be in a 'built' state after dpkg-buildpackage -S :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Canonical's Ubuntu QA, which is subscribed to autopkgtest in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2056334 Title: wrong version when building a package that's already part of the initial image Status in autopkgtest package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: While working on needrestart autopkgtests, I've run into issues testing it using my standard invocation: autopkgtest . -U -- lxd autopkgtest/ubuntu/noble/amd64 The runner wouldn't install the built package but would just keep whichever version is in the archive, while still using the new sources for getting the test scripts, which of course would result in failures :) It works fine with packages not part of the base image, e.g. hello.
