Error parsing the list of packages to install

[Leo Arias]

Today I added a requirement that it's not installed in the phone image, and got:

  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/debian/debian_support.py", line 116, in _set_full_version
    raise ValueError("Invalid version string %r" % version)

Attaches is the full trace.

This is the debian/tests/control:

Tests: ota_basic
Restrictions: needs-root allow-stderr
Depends: system-image-dbus (>=3.0)

What I found debugging is that when adt-run is parsing the missing dependencies, it runs:

adt-run: DBG: testbed command ['apt-get', '--quiet', '--simulate', '--no-remove', '-o', 'Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true', '-o', 'Debug::NoLocking=true', '-o', 'APT::Install-Recommends=False', '-o', 'APT::Get::Show-User-Simulation-Note=False', 'install', 'system-image-dbus'], kind short, sout pipe, serr raw, env ['LANG=C.UTF-8']
that returns: Inst system-image-dbus [2.5-0ubuntu1] (3.0b3-0ubuntu2 system-image testing:15.04/vivid [all]) []

which returns:
Inst system-image-dbus [2.5-0ubuntu1] (3.0b3-0ubuntu2 system-image testing:15.04/vivid [all]) []

adt is not expecting the [2.5-0ubuntu1]
so instead of returning 3.0b3-0ubuntu2 as the version, it's returning 2.5-0ubuntu1].

There is a typo on that fix. Instead of taking the token with index 2, we need to take the token with index 3.

Thanks Leo! Applied to git.

This bug was fixed in the package autopkgtest - 3.12

---------------
autopkgtest (3.12) unstable; urgency=medium

  * ssh-setup/adb: Re-enable ssh after reboot, in case an upgrade disables it.
  * ssh-setup/adb: Try to create /userdata/.adb_onlock, to get adb after
    rebooting without human interaction.
  * Fix apt-get install --simulate version parsing with third-party sources.
    (LP: #1430017)
  * ssh-setup-nova: Add --security-groups option. (LP: #1429862)
  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Avoid non-blocking reads from the socket in
    verbose mode, this sometimes causes hangs. Go back to blocking reads, but
    don't wait between them.
  * Fix UnicodeDecodeError on .deb package name reading. (LP: #1430773)
  * adt-virt-ssh: Export $SUDO_ASKPASS to tests if sudo is available.
    (LP: #1431421)
