[Bug 1205110] Re: autopkgtest should not depend on pbuilder

[Martin Pitt]

This works nicely:

use Dpkg::Deps;
$spec = 'nopkg  | pmount (>= 0.9 ), pep8 [linux-any], coreutils (>= 1) [armhf],';
$dep = deps_parse($spec, reduce_arch => 1, host_arch => 'armhf');
print $dep->output(), "\n";

results in "nopkg | pmount (>= 0.9), pep8, coreutils (>= 1)", and if I
set host_arch to "amd64" it results in "nopkg | pmount (>= 0.9), pep8"
as expected. autopkgtest can get the target arch from the testbed with
"dpkg --print-architecture", which does not require any non-essential
dependencies.

Title:
  autopkgtest should not depend on pbuilder

Status in “autopkgtest” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The autopkgtest package depends on pbuilder, but it shouldn't.  There
  are several backend options for autopkgtest that don't require
  pbuilder; we shouldn't have to install pbuilder just for
  /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends-classic.

  A possible substitute for this would be mk-build-deps from devscripts.
