Public bug reported:

[Impact]

 * libvirt became FTBFS in xenial due to other changes.

 * The fix just modifies the self-tests (not the active code that runs
in an ubuntu users env)

 * The change is already active in Ubuntu in later releases via
https://salsa.debian.org/libvirt-team/libvirt/commit/2be70b3

[Test Case]

 * Build libvirt in Xenial on LP infra and while doing so do not trigger test 
fails in
   test-openpty and test-posix_openpt

[Regression Potential]

 * Since we only change self-test code that runs at build time the runtime 
should show now 
   regressions. The one thing I can think of is that a rebuild could always 
change something 
   (even a no change rebuild) but since we want to bundle it with other SRUs 
there would be a 
   rebuild anyway - hence I'd think this has no regression risk of its own.

[Other Info]
 
 * This should not be fixed standalone but bundled with some other SRU to avoid 
useless rebuilds 
   - and even more so - users downloading updates for now gain.

---

Due to a unknown other update libvirt became an FTBFS in Xenial.

The issue shows up at build on launchpad infra and has two seld-tests broken.
>From the build log:
FAIL: test-openpty
==================

openpty returned -1
FAIL test-openpty (exit status: 1)

FAIL: test-posix_openpt
=======================

../../../../gnulib/tests/test-posix_openpt.c:52: assertion '0 <= master' failed
FAIL test-posix_openpt (exit status: 134)


This is somewhat familiar to bug 1641615 but showing up again in Xenial now for 
yet unknown reasons.

The later re-occurrence of this outside of Xenial was later on fixed by [1] for 
good.
Probably now triggering by some SRu of a lib into Xenial (or unlikely some 
change in the builder setup).
We want to add that to Xenial as well to have it build fine again.
