[Bug 1408350] Re: 'apt-get update' should be configurable as part of testbed setup

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package autopkgtest - 3.9.4

---------------
autopkgtest (3.9.4) unstable; urgency=medium


  * Recognize modern "Package-Type:" control field in addition to
    XC-Package-Type.
  * ssh-setup/adb: Guard adb wait-for-device with a 5 min timeout.
    (LP: #1414939)
  * README.running-tests.rst: Fix mis-spelled ro-apt setup command.
  * Add setup-commands/ro-apt-update: Shortcut for temporarily mounting a
    readonly root file system writable and run apt-get. This allows tests to
    download/unpack test dependencies on older images whose apt indexes are
    out of date. (LP: #1408350)
  * Export temp dir install mode variables in the test run script instead of
    merely running it under that environment, so that we trump non-extending
    LD_LIBRARY_PATHs in /etc/environment. (LP: #1407949)
  * setup-commands/ubuntu-touch-session: Ensure that /dev/uinput is always
    accessible, as we don't necessarily have local logind sessions during
    tests. (part of LP #1415514)
  * setup-commands/ubuntu-touch-session: Unset UPSTART_JOB (which crept into
    the environment from a recent upstart version) when calling initctl, to
    fix querying the session D-BUS address. (LP: #1415514)

Title:
  'apt-get update' should be configurable as part of testbed setup

Status in autopkgtest package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  It would be useful to add a flag to automatically allow 'apt-get
  update' to be run during testbed setup.

  Currently this can be done using --setup-commands option:
  'mount -o remount,rw /; apt-get update; mount -o remount,ro /'

  But it would be much easier to have a flag to allow this to be
  configured as part of the setup procedure.

  This step is required to ensure device package lists don't became out
  of sync with archive.
