[Bug 888910] Re: "make check" fails in sbuild chroot

[James Hunt]

This bug has now been fixed but is not yet available in a release.

*Please* do not disable the Upstart tests as they provide valuable
assurance that the resulting binary will work as expected on the target
system. Instead, use pbuilder(8) until this fix is available in a
release.

Bug description:
  As reported to upstart-devel mailing list by broder, "make check"
  fails in an sbuild chroot:

   test_job_process: tests/test_job_process.c:3726: test_handler:
  Assertion `(waitid (P_PID, pid, &info, 2 | 0x01000000)) == 0' failed.
   /bin/bash: line 5: 27647 Aborted                 (core dumped) ${dir}$tst

  Evan also found the cause:

  Upstarts tests should detect and handle this situation by checking
  ttyname(3) and taking appropriate action. It should also log a warning
  if action is required.
