Comment 19 for bug 1775195

[VERIFICATION XENIAL]

I ran sosreport '3.6-1ubuntu0.18.04.1' inside a baremetal AND a container without any issue.

The test was run with '-a, --alloptions'[1] AND '--all-logs'[2]

[1] - Boolean that set to True for all enabled plugins.
[2] - Tell sosreport to collect all possible log data ignoring any size limits.

Report:
* All the mandatory directory and files (mention in the autopkgtest are present) has been collected and contain valid data.
* All 0 size files found in the tarball are related to thing which doesn't raise any red flag to me.
* Sensible data substitution works as expected:

etc/ssl/openssl.cnf:# input_password = ******
etc/ssl/openssl.cnf:# output_password = ******
etc/ssl/openssl.cnf:challengePassword = ******
etc/ssl/openssl.cnf:challengePassword_min = ******
etc/ssl/openssl.cnf:challengePassword_max = ******

The only error I found only inside a container was the following :

$ grep ERROR sos_logs/sos.log
2018-11-15 20:24:09,005 ERROR: [plugin:kvm] debugfs not mounted and mount attempt failed

sosreport complained because debugfs wasn't mounted. It's probably related to unprivileges container. It's definitely not a SRU blocker at this point.

Inside a KVM guest, no problem

Output :
sosreport -a --all-logs
