For example, here is a autopkgtest failure that was flagged by my update to initramfs-tools package:
https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac /autopkgtest-trusty/trusty/ppc64el/l/linux-lts- xenial/20171012_183054_740b6@/log.gz the failure is simply due to the ubuntu-regression-suite test: autopkgtest [18:30:28]: test ubuntu-regression-suite: [----------------------- Source Package Version: 4.4.0-97.120~14.04.1 Running Kernel Version: 3.13.0-133.182 ERROR: running version does not match source package ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Dan Streetman (ddstreet) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1723223 Title: linux-lts and linux-hwe autopkgtests fail due to version mismatch Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux source package in Trusty: In Progress Status in linux source package in Xenial: In Progress Bug description: the autopkgtests for the kernel include 'ubuntu-regression-suite' which contains this test: sver=`dpkg-parsechangelog -SVersion` read x rver x </proc/version_signature flavour=${rver#*-*-} rver=${rver%-$flavour} echo "Source Package Version: $sver" echo "Running Kernel Version: $rver" if [ "$sver" != "$rver" ]; then echo "ERROR: running version does not match source package" 1>&2 exit 1 fi However, when testing a -lts or -hwe kernel build, the running kernel will not match because the running kernel is the stock version while the building/testing kernel is the newer -lts/-hwe version. This failure results in autopkgtest errors for all other packages that invoke linux autopkgtests - for example, initramfs-tools. This requires unnecessary work to investigate the autopkgtest errors every time, only to find it's a autopkgtest error.
