Good to know, thanks. I've marked vmdb2's bug as such. How does this discoverability? Do "affects" bugs appear in the BTS view of the affected package? (I'm thinking of the zerofree issue for example, which was also a vmdb2 issue, but users reported it against autopkgtest and sbuild-qemu). I'll leave it open to the maintainers to determine if a code change is desirable (eg: bump dependency) or if this bug here can be closed. Best, Christian

If there's no actionable bug in autopkgtest, and a fix in vmdb2 will automatically fix autopkgtest without any autopkgtest code changes being required or desirable, then the usual way to represent that would be to give the vmdb2 bug report an "affects" on autopkgtest. smcv
Bug#1068748: autopkgtest-build-qemu: Ubuntu EFI VMs fail to boot
Package: autopkgtest Version: 5.34 Severity: normal Block: -1 by 1068746 When building an Ubuntu image with autopkgtest-build-qemu and using --boot=efi, the resulting image fails to boot when running autopkgtests on it. An attempted manual boot with qemu-system-x86_64 shows EFI complaining about some disk not found. The cause for this is #1068746, vmdb2 invoking grub-install with flipped logic on Ubuntu, related to #951766. I've already filed an MR at vmdb2 upstream that fixes the logic, but I thought it might be best to track the issue here as well. Please feel free to close this bug if you think it is superfluous. Best, Christian
