Public bug reported: Impact ------
The autopkgtest for 0.96.20.12, which introduces Ubuntu Pro in Xenial's software-properties, failed on Dbus tests[1]. The failure is because, at some point in time, the .keep file were removed from the otherwise empty tests/aptroot/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/. This caused the Git repository to drop tests/aptroot/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ and also its parent, which also became empty, and the tests try to directly create files in those directories, raising the error. It seems that previous uploaders did not use the Git checkout, as the offending commit was introduced in Jun 2019 and there were subsequent uploads that did contain those empty directories. Test case --------- Trigger an autopkgtest against the proposed package version. It must succeed. Regression Potential -------------------- Although the introduced change is idempotent, there could be other part of the code assuming the directories didn't exist and trying to create them with a "fail if already exists" approach, causing a runtime regression.
