2019-09-12 06:45:05 Christian Ehrhardt  description [Impact] * libvirt became FTBFS in xenial due to other changes. * The fix just modifies the self-tests (not the active code that runs in an ubuntu users env) * The change is already active in Ubuntu in later releases via https://salsa.debian.org/libvirt-team/libvirt/commit/2be70b3 [Test Case] * Build libvirt in Xenial on LP infra and while doing so do not trigger test fails in test-openpty and test-posix_openpt [Regression Potential] * Since we only change self-test code that runs at build time the runtime should show now regressions. The one thing I can think of is that a rebuild could always change something (even a no change rebuild) but since we want to bundle it with other SRUs there would be a rebuild anyway - hence I'd think this has no regression risk of its own. [Other Info] * This should not be fixed standalone but bundled with some other SRU to avoid useless rebuilds - and even more so - users downloading updates for now gain. --- Due to a unknown other update libvirt became an FTBFS in Xenial. The issue shows up at build on launchpad infra and has two seld-tests broken. From the build log: FAIL: test-openpty ================== openpty returned -1 FAIL test-openpty (exit status: 1) FAIL: test-posix_openpt ======================= ../../../../gnulib/tests/test-posix_openpt.c:52: assertion '0 <= master' failed FAIL test-posix_openpt (exit status: 134) This is somewhat familiar to bug 1641615 but showing up again in Xenial now for yet unknown reasons. The later re-occurrence of this outside of Xenial was later on fixed by [1] for good. Probably now triggering by some SRu of a lib into Xenial (or unlikely some change in the builder setup). We want to add that to Xenial as well to have it build fine again. [1]: https://salsa.debian.org/libvirt-team/libvirt/commit/2be70b3 [Impact]  * libvirt became FTBFS in xenial due to other changes.
