[Bug 2043713] [NEW] armhf autopkgtests fail due to TestApportValgrind.test_valgrind_min_installed

[Simon Quigley]

Public bug reported:

autopkgtests are pretty reliably failing[1] on armhf due to the
following (single) test failure:

638s =================================== FAILURES ===================================
638s ________________ TestApportValgrind.test_valgrind_min_installed ________________
638s 
638s self = <tests.integration.test_apport_valgrind.TestApportValgrind testMethod=test_valgrind_min_installed>
638s 
638s     def test_valgrind_min_installed(self):
638s         """Valgrind is installed and recent enough."""
638s         cmd = ["valgrind", "-q", "--extra-debuginfo-path=./", "ls"]
638s         (ret, out, err) = self._call(cmd)
638s >       self.assertEqual(err, "")
638s E       AssertionError: "==2474== Invalid write of size 4\n==2474[1064 chars]= \n" != ''
638s E       Diff is 1134 characters long. Set self.maxDiff to None to see it.
638s 
638s tests/integration/test_apport_valgrind.py:43: AssertionError

This could be related to valgrind functionality being different on
armhf, it could also be related to integer sizes internally on armhf. I
haven't looked too deeply into it.
