dep8 test systemd-fsckd fails on s390

[Andreas Hasenack]

The systemd-fsckd test has a constraint of isolation-machine, among others. Until recently, that actually prevented it from running on s390 because we were using containers for it.

About 3 weeks ago, apparently we started using VMs for s390 dep8 tests, so that constraint was finally satisfied and systemd-fsckd started to run. And to fail consistently, as can be see in http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/s/systemd/artful/s390x:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/autopkgtest.PrPiv9/build.iis/src/debian/tests/systemd-fsckd", line 267, in <module>
    boot_with_systemd_distro()
  File "/tmp/autopkgtest.PrPiv9/build.iis/src/debian/tests/systemd-fsckd", line 243, in boot_with_systemd_distro
    enable_plymouth()
  File "/tmp/autopkgtest.PrPiv9/build.iis/src/debian/tests/systemd-fsckd", line 224, in enable_plymouth
    plymouth_enabled = 'splash' in open('/boot/grub/grub.cfg').read()
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/boot/grub/grub.cfg'

There is no grub for s390, so this test must be adjusted or skipped in that architecture.

This is fixed in bionic:
systemd (235-3ubuntu2) bionic; urgency=medium

  * systemd-fsckd: Fix ADT tests to work on s390x too.

It's still a problem in artful, though: http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/s/systemd/artful/s390x

See the failures between 2017-11-17 06:19:37 UTC and 2017-12-07 01:38:49 UTC

Fix in bionic is https://git.launchpad.net/~usd-import-team/ubuntu/+source/systemd/commit/?id=bc28ba569ef1ecdbc028512dd24b32907212e5cc

Hello Andreas, or anyone else affected,

Accepted systemd into artful-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/234-2ubuntu12.3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-artful to verification-done-artful. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-artful. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

It's better, some of the unit tests for fsckd are now passing, however, not all. This is improvement. The failing tests appear to be racy.

Above is improvement over what was previously in artful. The "regression" is due to s390x switching on kvm testing.
