Package: sbuild Version: 0.91.1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
While trying to add an extra repo needed by my autopkgtest run, and after understanding that --extra-repository only applies to the build step, I started trying to use --autopkgtest-opts. $ --autopkgtest-opts=--add-apt-source='deb http://deb.example.net/ experimental main' [...] autopkgtest ----------- autopkgtest [16:59:30]: starting date and time: 2025-10-09 16:59:30+0200 autopkgtest [16:59:30]: version 5.51 autopkgtest [16:59:30]: host skade; command line: /usr/bin/autopkgtest /tmp/lazygal_0.11-2_amd64.changes -- unshare --release unstable --arch amd64 --add-apt-source=deb http://deb.example.net/ experimental main usage: autopkgtest-virt-unshare [-h] [-a ARCH] [-b OUTSIDE INSIDE] [-d] [--bootstrapcmd BOOTSTRAPCMD] [-p PREFIX] [-r RELEASE] [-t TARBALL] [-u UNPACK_DIR] autopkgtest-virt-unshare: error: unrecognized arguments: --add-apt-source=deb http://deb.example.net/ experimental main It seems that unshare makes AUTOPKGTEST_OPTIONS initialized with "-- unshare..." and that --autopkgtest-opts gets appended after which make the command line fail. The badly generated command line is: /usr/bin/autopkgtest /tmp/lazygal_0.11-2_amd64.changes -- unshare --release unstable --arch amd64 --add-apt-source='deb http://deb.example.net/ experimental main' instead of: /usr/bin/autopkgtest --add-apt-source='deb http://deb.example.net/ experimental main' /tmp/lazygal_0.11-2_amd64.changes -- unshare --release unstable --arch amd64 Thanks, Alex -- System Information: Debian Release: forky/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-39-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages sbuild depends on: ii iproute2 6.17.0-1 ii libsbuild-perl 0.91.1 ii perl 5.40.1-6 ii uidmap 1:4.18.0-1 Versions of packages sbuild recommends: ii mmdebstrap 1.5.7-3 ii sbuild-schroot 0.91.1 Versions of packages sbuild suggests: ii autopkgtest 5.51 pn piuparts <none> -- no debconf information
