fwupd 1.7.9 armhf test failure

[Łukasz Zemczak]

[Impact]

The armhf autopkgtest for fwupd is failing reliably. This is a test issue.

The error is

FuPluginMtd:ERROR:../plugins/mtd/fu-self-test.c:50:fu_test_mtd_device_func: assertion failed (error == NULL): failed to open /dev/mtd0: No such file or directory (g-io-error-quark, 1)
Bail out! FuPluginMtd:ERROR:../plugins/mtd/fu-self-test.c:50:fu_test_mtd_device_func: assertion failed (error == NULL): failed to open /dev/mtd0: No such file or directory (g-io-error-quark, 1)
Aborted (core dumped)

This has been now fixed in kinetic and needs to be backported to focal and jammy.

[Test Case]

Run autopkgtests and make sure all architectures pass once again.

[Regression Potential]

Fix only in the tests, so there should be no risk for runtime. Worst regression would be that the test changes regress the tests, making us miss real issues. But that's rather unlikely.

This is the fix for it on the 1_7_X branch you can cherry pick.

tests seem to have passed this time

[Chris Halse Rogers (raof)]

This should be marked as block-proposed-focal and block-proposed-jammy, right? By my understanding this doesn't affect users and so should sit in -proposed until a user-visible change needs to be made on top?

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

I agree with Chris regarding tagging it block-proposed and subsequently am doing so.

@brian-murray,

Since the results are all pass now,
I assume we can remove tag - block-proposed-focal and block-proposed-jammy ?

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

@hugh712 - The point of adding the tags is so that the SRU is not released until there is a change that will have an impact for users of the package, otherwise we are forcing everyone to update a package when there is no benefit for them. The next update to fwupd for focal and jammy should incorporate the fixes in this SRU.

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

Brian, this is the next update already, it includes the fix for LP: #1983451, so I am going to drop the block-proposed tags.
