[Bug 1291378] [NEW] test_CVE_2012_2944 autopkgtest is racy

[Martin Pitt]

Public bug reported:

As you can see in the build history of https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job
/trusty-adt-nut/? the test_CVE_2012_2944 test is rather flaky:

======================================================================
FAIL: test_CVE_2012_2944 (__main__.BasicTest)
Test CVE-2012-2944
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/adt-run.akeFyu/dsc0-build/nut-2.7.1/debian/tests/test-nut.py", line 396, in test_CVE_2012_2944
    self.assertFalse(os.path.exists(pidfile), "Found %s" % pidfile)
AssertionError: Found /var/run/nut/upsd.pid

I often have to retry the package test two or three times before it
succeeds, particularly when the test machines are busy. So either the
test isn't right, or the security issue that it's supposed to fix isn't
really fixed?
