Package: autopkgtest Version: 5.39 Severity: normal This bug is somewhat similar to #1080981 and may be resolved by the same fix, but I'm not sure.
While investigating an autopkgtest failure in the fence-agents package, I encountered a situation in which an apparently valid test configuration fails. The log below shows the failure, which is caused when apt is passed "fence-virt, , sudo" in its list of packages to install. This seems to be caused when autopkgtest injects the sudo package in response to `needs-sudo` in the test definition and debian/control containing a trailing ',' in the list of dependencies for one of the binary packages.
