** Description changed: [impact] the 'storage' autopkgtest requires the 'scsi_debug' module, and if it can't load it (and it's not built-in), the test fails. On some custom kernels, this module is included in the new 'linux-modules-extra-*' deb which isn't installed by default, so the test always fails when doing a reverse-dep autopkgtest using such a kernel's meta pkg. Additionally, some custom kernels, like linux-kvm, have SCSI_DEBUG disabled entirely; for those kernels, it will never be possible to load the scsi_debug module and the test should be skipped. [test case] run the 'storage' autopkgtest with a custom kernel that doesn't provide the scsi_debug module in the standard linux-modules deb, or check the autopkgtest.u.c history, for example: https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac /autopkgtest-focal/focal/amd64/s/systemd/20191209_150835_237a5@/log.gz [regression potential] as this modifies one of the autopkgtest --setup-commands, and assumes that all custom 'linux-meta-FLAVOR' kernels have a corresponding 'linux- modules-extra-FLAVOR' deb (or will match the alternate 'linux-image- generic-FLAVOR' naming), a regression would most likely cause immediate test failure due to failing to install the proper linux-* debs. For the systemd 'storage' test change, this only skips the test if the scsi_debug module can't be loaded (and isn't already present, i.e. loaded or built-in). Any regression potential from that is low, but likely would involve incorrect test skips and/or missing valid problems due to skipping the test. + + [scope] + + systemd in all releases needs to have its 'storage' test updated
