[Bug 1641905] Re: Minor unit Test regression in 1.2.15

[Adam Conrad]

Hello Julian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apt into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/1.2.18 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Title:
  Minor unit Test regression in 1.2.15

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in apt source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  In 1.2.15 the unit tests (which run at build time) fail with an error
  message in the atomic files test, because I picked a commit that
  improved the error handling a bit (a previous error now propagates
  into further calls):

  /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/test/libapt/fileutl_test.cc:376: Failure
  Value of: f.Close()
    Actual: false
  Expected: true

  I'll revert that for 1.2.16, as it depends on another fix, and I'm not
  sure I really want those two in there.

  [Impact]
  * Causes unit test failure, but might not have real effects

  [Test Case]
  * Check that build output (which runs unit tests) contains no failure

  [Regression Potential]
  * None, we are just reverting a commit from 1.2.15, so we have the same as in 1.2.14
