Dear maintainers,
The sbuild autopkgtest has the rather telling comment in it:
# We should probably only attempt to install and run procenv if the release of
# the build chroot is equal to the host, but lets be brave and try anyway
This results in autopkgtest failures for sbuild, any time the devel series
that is being test-built for generates newer libc dependencies than the
version of glibc present in the host environment.
Since Ubuntu routinely runs autopkgtests against stable releases as part of
CI for stable release updates, this results in autopkgtests that work fine
when a series is unreleased, and then regress at some later point because
the devel series has moved on.
We've applied the attached patch in Ubuntu to avoid this in the obvious
fashion. Please consider applying in Debian as well.
Thanks,
