test suite failures

[Barry Warsaw]

update-manager's test suite fails. bdmurray pointed me at this command:

xvfb-run nosetests3 -s --tests tests/test_update_list.py

which produced 5 failures and one error. The error I think was easy enough to fix, since it was dependent on the random number returned when calculating phased updates, and that is dependent on the machine id. I mocked that out to get consistent results.

The test failures all seem to point to a change in behavior for pkg.is_upgradable, since the updates_list is a different size than expected (expected: 3, actual: 1). Brian's seeing the same thing.

I'll link a branch that fixes the test bug, but atm I'm kind of stumped at why .is_upgradable is not what's expected.

I've tested python-apt as far back as version 0.9.0 without any effect on the tests. I wonder if it isn't actually caused by a change in apt.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Well installing apt 0.9.14.1ubuntu2 changes the update_list back to what the test expects.

And they fail with apt version 0.9.15.1ubuntu1.

Looking at the changelog for apt in Ubuntu, there have been a fair number of
uploads in the last month. Maybe try some of those older versions?

This is a regression in apt caused by commit 446551c8ffd2c9cb9dcd707c94590e73009f7dd9

I will look what exactly is causing this.

Thanks,
