INFECTED I think what is happening is that a running (and unrelated) sshd is sometimes visible from the testbed and sometimes not (which influences the output). The autopkgtest wrongly assumed it would be consistent . i assume different test runners have different settings and that's why it looks flaky But i think there's some other issue that needs a bit more investigating by me (i will loook in the next 2 weeks): - how can sshd ever be visible from the testbed? - why doesnt the following test with -q fail in the same way. - (is the upstream code for seeing if sshd is running correct? ) (nb - add a "ps ax" to the info section at the start of the test to have more info about the testbed!)
