Bug#1140787: sbuild: autopkgtest_virt_server_options setting is ignored

[Jochen Sprickerhof]

Hi Benjamin,

* Benjamin Drung <bdr...@debian.org> [2026-06-26 13:55]:

The autopkgtest_virt_server_options seems to be ignored:

$ sbuild --run-autopkgtest --no-run-lintian
[...]
autopkgtest [13:37:38]: [...]; command line: /usr/bin/autopkgtest 
[...]/tzdata_2026b-1_amd64.changes -- unshare --release unstable --arch amd64
```

According to my config `-b /dev/kvm /dev/kvm` should have been added or
am I holding it wrong?

I would expect that I could set the options specific to the virt server,
but I do not see that possibility in the config.

-- Configuration Files:
/etc/sbuild/sbuild.conf changed:
$build_arch_all = 1;
$build_source = 1;
$clean_source = 0;
$lintian_opts = ['--display-info', '--pedantic', '--display-experimental'];
$apt_update = 0;
$apt_distupgrade = 0;
$unshare_mmdebstrap_keep_tarball = 1;
push @{$unshare_mmdebstrap_extra_args}, "*", ['--aptopt=Acquire::http { Proxy 
"http://127.0.0.1:3142";; }', '--skip=cleanup/apt/lists'];
push @{$unshare_mmdebstrap_extra_args}, 
qr/^(trusty|xenial|bionic|focal|jammy|noble|questing|resolute|stonking)/, 
['http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu'];
push @{$unshare_mmdebstrap_extra_args}, 
qr/^(trusty|xenial|bionic|focal|jammy|noble|questing|resolute|stonking)/, 
['--components=main,universe'];
$unshare_mmdebstrap_max_age = 86400;
$autopkgtest_virt_server = 'unshare';
$autopkgtest_virt_server_options = ['-b', '/dev/kvm', '/dev/kvm'];
1;

Cheers Jochen

Note that $autopkgtest_virt_server_options is only used for --chroot-mode=autopkgtest, not for --run-autopkgtest. I guess you want $autopkgtest_opts instead. Can you close this if I am correct?
