[Bug 1845037] Re: autopkgtest package "lxd" test has started failing

[Dan Streetman]

ah, ok, thanks @stgraber!

This will indeed need some surgery to autopkgtest, and might start
causing more widespread failures since the autopkgtest LxdRunner itself
appears to be at fault.

  autopkgtest package "lxd" test has started failing

Bug description:
  [impact]

  the failure is seen in (at least) the "lxd" autopkgtest from the autopkgtest package itself, e.g.:
  https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac/autopkgtest-disco/disco/amd64/a/autopkgtest/20190923_160817_66dbe@/log.gz

  [test case]

  run the autopkgtests for the package 'autopkgtest', or check autopkgtest.ubuntu.com, e.g.:
  http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/a/autopkgtest/disco/amd64
  http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/a/autopkgtest/disco/i386
  http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/a/autopkgtest/eoan/amd64
  http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/a/autopkgtest/eoan/i386

  note that this is failing only for disco and eoan, and note that the 'lxd' test is skipped for non-intel archs.  this does not appear to be failing on bionic:
  http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/a/autopkgtest/bionic/amd64

  [regression potential]

  TBD

  [other info]

  this is reproducable with the current packages from disco-updates
  using a local qemu vm for testing; it seems that some change in the
  lxd snap recently has caused this regression.
