lxc 1:4.0.4-0ubuntu3 ADT test failure with linux 5.8.0-45.51

[Stefan Bader]

We seem to get failed dep8 testing on lxc in Groovy for a while. What we are interested in is knowing whether this is known problems in the testing or something that waits on kernel fixes (who would be driving those if this is the case).

Testing failed on:

This is with 4.0.4 and the bug is fixed in 4.0.6 which it seems hasn't made it into Groovy yet (but is released). I'm not sure what Stéphane's timeline is there.

[Stefan Bader (smb)]

Thanks Christian, I think we would for now mark this up as known issue in lxc. There is a bit of a mystery on our side as it seems right now as if this failed for couple of our releases and never appears to have been investigated/asked.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Guilherme G. Piccoli (gpiccoli)]

Marked https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1900662 as duplicate of this one. Same issue, and seems (per Christian) that is fixed on 4.0.6 .

[Guilherme G. Piccoli (gpiccoli)]

Issue observed for a long time in 5.8 kernels, for example G/KVM.

[Kleber Sacilotto de Souza (kleber-souza)]

This issue is also affecting kernel regression tests.

The Groovy Gorilla has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release
