Actually one can debug a bit via: $ export APT_CLONE_DEBUG_RESOLVER=1 $ PYTONPATH=.. python3.8 test_clone_upgrade.py
The libsrt1-gnutls that shows up as proper value in the kubuntu-desktop is mentioned then as: Installing libsrt1-gnutls:amd64 as Depends of libavformat58:amd64 But it is listed the same way when handling xubuntu-desktop and missing there. libsrt1-gnutls | 1.4.1-5build1 | groovy/universe | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x libsrt1-gnutls | 1.4.2-1 | hirsute/universe | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x So it listed a package that is upgraded. When doing the initial grab of installed packages it logged libsrt1-gnutls 1.4.1-5build1 1 The test does 1. create an env of the -2 release (groovy in this case) old = self._create_fake_upgradable_root(supported[-2], meta=meta) 2. stores a package selection list of OLD in tarball 3. create an env of the -1 release (hirsute in this case) new = self._create_fake_upgradable_root(supported[-1], meta=meta) 4. creates an apt-cache of the NEW env cache = apt.Cache(rootdir=new) 5. restores package selection of the "clone of NEW" to the state of "OLD" from tarball It expects that there are upgrades available under the meta packages of ubuntu-standard""ubuntu-desktop" "kubuntu-desktop" and "xubuntu- desktop". But in the beginning of a release (or at any later time if there are apt network issues) there are none. I've found that we can make this much more reliable (especially early on when -dev ~= -dev-1 by comparing it with the first release that distro info reports. With that I have found a fix that eliminates the false positive. => https://code.launchpad.net/~paelzer/apt-clone/apt-clone-fix-fails-early-cycle/+merge/393310 This would still be a new upload, so we could accept the badtest now as- is and upload a fixed version later ... up to you (release team people). @mvo are you still reviewing/merging/uploading those MPs to apt-clone? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1902830 Title: autopkgtest fails in hirsute - test_clone_upgrade.py To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-clone/+bug/1902830/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
