[Bug 1876886] Re: chrony autopkgtest fails on armhf (groovy)

[Christian Ehrhardt ]

It is the build phase that fails.
Reproduced in armhf container on canonistack.

1. get the source and build deps
2. build that until it breaks
3. re-run via 
  $ cd ~/chrony-3.5/test/system
  $ ./run -i 20 -m 2

In this repro environment I get two extra fails at:
005-scfilter   Testing system call filter:
  non-default settings:
    extra_chronyd_options=-F -1
  starting chronyd                                              ERROR
FAIL
  stopping chronyd                                              ERROR


But also the actual issues:

  starting chronyd                                              OK

Title:
  chrony autopkgtest fails on armhf (groovy)

Status in chrony package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in libcap2 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Test fails on armhf only:
    running chronyc makestep                              	ERROR
    checking chronyc output                               	OK
    running chronyc trimrtc                               	ERROR
    checking chronyc output                               	OK
    running chronyc writertc                              	ERROR

  This might be a new twist on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libcap2/+bug/1863590
  as it is libcap2 again.

  This reproduces through a bunch of retries
  http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/c/chrony/groovy/armhf
  But as I said is armfh only:
  http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/chrony

  Flagging update-excuse, but I won't be able to get to it immediately
