Normally autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud is a better tool to build Ubuntu images to be used with autopkgtest-virt-qemu, however we should also be able to use autopkgtest-build-qemu, which builds an image from scratch using debootstrap. This currently fails:
- When building >= Focal images, autopkgtest-virt-qemu fails as it tries to install ifupdown on the testbed, which is not available in main (the only enabled component during debootstrap). We should stop installing ifupdown in >= Focal or maybe >= Bionic.
- When building Noble images, looks like debootstrap fails to install coreutils, so the system is unusable. Maybe related to deb822 sources? To be fixed somewhere else
- Issues with setup-testbed installing rng-tools have been reported [1].
