Hi Richard,
for some context see
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/rsyslog/-/merge_requests/7#note_634371
Building rsyslog on debusine results in an autopkgtest failure:
44s System Events
44s =-=-=-=-=-=-=
44s Jul 30 20:28:18 autopkgtest-lxd-lryznw rsyslogd[1999]: imklog: cannot open
kernel log (/proc/kmsg): Permission denied.
44s Jul 30 20:28:18 autopkgtest-lxd-lryznw rsyslogd[1999]: activation of
module imklog failed [v8.2506.0 try https://www.rsyslog.com/e/2145 ]
44s
44s * FAIL: unmatched lines - logcheck rules may need updating
44s This email is sent by logcheck. If you no longer wish to receive
44s such mail, you can either uninstall the logcheck package or modify
44s its configuration file (/etc/logcheck/logcheck.conf).
It appears, debusine.debian.net uses LXD/LXC but access to /proc/kmsg is
more restricted than on debci.
I see 3 possible ways forward
1/ Add isolation-machine to Restrictions in debian/tests/control
Apparently isolation-container (as provided by debci and debusine) is
not guaranteed to provide an accessible /proc/kmsg
This significantly reduces test coverage though, as isolation-machine
requires qemu, which is currently only available on amd64 and
currently only available on debci if explicitly requested
2/ Add this error message to rsyslog.logcheck.ignore.server, i.e. treat
this as an expected error. Looks wrong to me, but I'm not a logcheck
user.
3/ Modify the rsyslog configuration we use for debian/tests/logcheck and
remove the `module(load="imklog")` line from /etc/rsyslog.conf.
I.e. we would run rsylog with a slightly different configuration as
is the default.
4/ Drop the autopkgtest again. Not a fan of this option.
On a cursory glance, I think 3) would be the best option but I would
welcome your opionion on this matter.
Regards,
Michael

* Make autopkgtest work in containers without /proc/kmesg.
If /proc/kmesg is not available (or not accessible), rsyslog will
produce some extra error messages, which the default logcheck rules
won't match, making the test fail: hide these with a local rule.
(Closes: #1110192)

* Disable missing-breaks test for salsa-ci
