TEST-21-SYSUSERS autopkgtest fails

[test case]

see original description

[regression potential]

any regression would be limited to incorrect pass/fail of TEST-21-SYSUSERS

[scope]

TEST-21-SYSUSERS does not exist in Xenial, it is first contained in Bionic. This is needed for B, E, and F.

Does this still fail with v239 which has now landed?

[dann frazier (dannf)]

Notice in the log in comment #6 that the unexpected error we are seeing for "unhappy-2" is the expected error for "unhappy-1".

I wonder if there's a race here:

        # tests for error conditions
        for f in unhappy-*.input; do
                echo "*** Running test $f"
                rm -f $TESTDIR/etc/*
                cp $f $TESTDIR/usr/lib/sysusers.d/test.conf
                systemd-sysusers --root=$TESTDIR 2> /dev/null
                journalctl -t systemd-sysusers -o cat | tail -n1 > $TESTDIR/tmp/err

That is, is it guaranteed that journalctl will see the errors from systemd-sysusers immediately? Is there something we could use to force it? Is that what 'journalctl --flush' does?

TEST-21 did not fail for any arch for autopkgtests on bionic and eoan.

This was fixed in Debian at version 244.2-1, which is earlier than the version in focal, so this is fix released for focal.
