Package: autopkgtest Version: 5.44 Severity: normal Hi,
as discussed yesterday in #debian-devel, autopkgtest installs dpkg-dev into the first testbed but not afterwards, resulting in a different set of installed packages and thus different test results. Note that this is easily visible with the autopkgtest-virt-unshare backend that uses a minimal chroot and does not use setup-testbed which installs dpkg-dev by default. An example to reproduce is ros-image-pipeline which is missing a make dependency in the bookworm version. Running a single test works fine: $ autopkgtest --test-name libimage-rotate-dev ros-image-pipeline -- unshare -r bookworm [..] The following NEW packages will be installed: binutils binutils-common binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu bzip2 dpkg-dev libbinutils libctf-nobfd0 libctf0 libdpkg-perl libgprofng0 libjansson4 make patch xz-utils [..] libimage-rotate-dev PASS But when running the same test as the second one it fails because make is no longer installed: $ autopkgtest --test-name libimage-publisher-dev --test-name libimage-rotate-dev ros-image-pipeline -- unshare -r bookworm [..] The following NEW packages will be installed: binutils binutils-common binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu bzip2 dpkg-dev libbinutils libctf-nobfd0 libctf0 libdpkg-perl libgprofng0 libjansson4 make patch xz-utils [..] libimage-publisher-dev PASS autopkgtest [07:47:25]: test libimage-rotate-dev: preparing testbed [..] CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Unix Makefiles". CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set. You probably need to select a different build tool. libimage-rotate-dev FAIL non-zero exit status 1 I think autopkgtest should clean up dpkg-dev before running the first test.
