[Bug 1075976] Re: test-suite fails in autopkgtest environment

[James Hunt]

Responding to my comments in #1...

1) Resolved (aka "worked around")

My lp:~jamesodhunt/ubuntu/raring/upstart/autopkgtest branch now runs
both make_check and user_session tests successfully.

However, I had to throw sacrificial chickens through flaming hoops to
get this to work (although it's very simple when you do work out what's
happening ;-). autopkgtest could be changed to remove the need for
flaming hoops, chickens and sharp knives. See bug 1079358.

2) Red herring.

3) New Ubuntu Upstart release, including these changes is currently
being prepared, so fixed.

4) Red herring.

Title:
  test-suite fails in autopkgtest environment

Status in Automated Testing of Ubuntu Packages:
  New
Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am trying to add autopkgtests to upstart.

  $ bzr branch lp:auto-package-testing
  $ cd auto-package-testing/bin
  $ ./prepare-testbed -r quantal -d amd64
  $ ./run-adt-test -r quantal -a amd64 -b lp:~xnox/ubuntu/raring/upstart/autopkgtest upstart

  The autopkgtest in question requires root & build, the first step (building the package) fails at make check as shown in:
  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1339937/

  Please note, I have modified upstart test-suite to try dh_auto_test as
  current user & then as 'nobody'. First pass leads to three failures,
  while the second one only one. Nonetheless it is still not enough.

  Please modify adt or upstart to succeed building in such environment
  to allow running autopkgtests.

  Regards,

  Dmitrijs.
