This bug was fixed in the package autopkgtest - 2.16.2
---
autopkgtest (2.16.2) unstable; urgency=medium
* Support :native dependencies.
* Add LXC runner test case for running as different user.
* Add QEMU runner test case for performance and integrity of copying (1000
files with 100 kB each).
* copyup/down: Clean up cp process on timeout, to fix eternal hang.
* adt-virt-qemu: Disable shared downtmp. For bigger source trees 9p in
current QEMU is way too slow (in the magnitude of 2 MB/s, and max'ing out
CPU usage), so we can't use it directly as a normal file system.
* Revert Don't extract/build source packages in shared downtmp, due to
above change. This stops penalizing other runners with extra source tree
copies.
* VirtSubproc: Clean up auxverb processes on timeout.
* adt-run: Stop testbed on TERM and QUIT signals, to avoid leaving stale
schroot/qemu/LXC processes around when e. g. stopping a job from Jenkins.
* adt-virt-qemu: Fix runcmd to make the command's stdin actually look and
behave like a pipe, instead of reading directly from the stdin file. The
latter leads to commands exiting prematurely when hitting the file's EOF.
(LP: #1317358)
* Convert one of the QEMU tests from source tree to dsc, to cover that case
as well.
* Add test case for QEMU with --apt-source (using libpng).
* adt-virt-qemu: Create eofcat in /bin instead of the shared /autopkgtest
mount, as running it from the latter again triggers the invalid numerical
value bug with 9p from older QEMU versions.
* adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Purge some unnecessary services to speed up boot
time a bit.
* @builddeps@ now includes build-essential, not just make. (LP: #1317357)
* Make -s/--shell-fail start a shell on failed builds as well.
(LP: #1317055)
