Your solution works. Btw, I tried adding `haveged` and/or `rng-tools` to test build dependency, and it does not work. > This rely on the host having enough entropy and i'm not sure how to pass > those options to salsa CI Is it possible to run Qemu on Salsa at all? As my experiments show¹, it is possible to create image with `autopkgtest-qemu-build' with Salsa CI. It still complains somewhat: ERROR: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/proc/mounts' ERROR: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/proc/mounts' ERROR: Command failed: kpartx -dsv ../autopkgtest.img.raw b'' b'/proc/devices: fopen failed: No such file or directory\nFailed to set up list of device-mapper major numbers\nIncompatible libdevmapper 1.02.155 (2018-12-18) and kernel driver (unknown version).\ndevice mapper prerequisites not met\n' But actually running `autopkgtest` fails with following error: qemu-system-x86_64: terminating on signal 15 from pid 27862 (<unknown process>) <VirtSubproc>: failure: timed out on client shared directory setup The only reference to such failure I found was #916428 (autopkgtest-qemu worked with python-3.6, but not 3.7). Bug closed in autopkgtest=5.8; current version is 5.10. Just running /usr/bin/kvm fails, complaining about missing "kvm" module³. Running with just software emulation is terribly slow. As I see it, the best we can do is script creation of image and invoking autopkgtest(1) with apporiate options and run this script from time to time manually. Or I missed something better? ¹ https://salsa.debian.org/debian/runit/-/jobs/219656 ² https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=916428 ³ https://salsa.debian.org/kaction/push-limits/-/jobs/219676 -- Note, that I send and fetch email in batch, once in a few days.
