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

[Christian Ehrhardt ]

Ha, that was a good red-herring

It doesn't fail at this test despite all the error messages thrown out.
It does
1. build chrony without root (works with tests skipped as it isn't root)
2. passes other tests as it ERRORs but detects that the environment is the reason for that

The actual error is:
autopkgtest [15:12:44]: test upstream-simulation-test-suite: [-----------------------
make: Entering directory '/tmp/autopkgtest.VV9dfn/autopkgtest_tmp'
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
make: Leaving directory '/tmp/autopkgtest.VV9dfn/autopkgtest_tmp'
autopkgtest [15:12:56]: test upstream-simulation-test-suite: -----------------------]

Which in the past was:
autopkgtest [15:59:37]: test upstream-simulation-test-suite: [-----------------------
make: Entering directory '/tmp/autopkgtest.msuU3S/autopkgtest_tmp'
cc -O2 -Wall -g -fPIC -DGETTIMEOFDAY_VOID  -c -o client.o client.c
cc -O2 -Wall -g -fPIC -shared -o clknetsim.so client.o  -ldl -lm

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
