I suspect that's also the case of livecd-rootfs: https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/l/livecd-rootfs
I'm seeing autopkgtest failing to download small text files from addresses like people.canonical.com, ports.ubuntu.com, ubuntu-archive- team.ubuntu.com to name a few. One can see it's failing for most architectures across different Ubuntu releases. Not all cases are equal, but I found many logs like the ones below from jammy and later and I observed the tests that fail like that ran on STO (PS7) and the ones that didn't fail ran on BOS3 (PS6) for the same release, version and architecture: Either this ``` 248s autopkgtest [07:29:15]: test default-bootstraps: [----------------------- 248s Building rootfs for project: 'ubuntu-base' subproject: '' template: '' in /adt/tmp.SVp4PQFSeL/ubuntu-base:: 248s [2025-07-07 07:29:14] lb_config 248s [1;37mP[0m: Executing auto/config script. 248s Building on autopkgtest.local 248s Running germinate... 248s Downloading http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz file ... 248s Decompressing http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz file ... 248s Downloading http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky/main/source/Sources.xz file ... 249s Decompressing http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky/main/source/Sources.xz file ... 249s Downloading http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky/restricted/binary-amd64/Packages.xz file ... 249s Decompressing http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky/restricted/binary-amd64/Packages.xz file ... 249s Downloading http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky/restricted/source/Sources.xz file ... 249s Decompressing http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky/restricted/source/Sources.xz file ... 249s Downloading http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky-updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz file ... 249s Decompressing http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky-updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz file ... 249s Downloading http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky-updates/main/source/Sources.xz file ... 249s Decompressing http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky-updates/main/source/Sources.xz file ... 249s Downloading http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky-updates/restricted/binary-amd64/Packages.xz file ... 249s Decompressing http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky-updates/restricted/binary-amd64/Packages.xz file ... 249s Downloading http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky-updates/restricted/source/Sources.xz file ... 249s Decompressing http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky-updates/restricted/source/Sources.xz file ... 249s * Downloading https://ubuntu-archive-team.ubuntu.com/seeds/ubuntu.plucky/STRUCTURE 249s !

The tests themselves are quite simple, they essentially run the live-build/auto/* shell scripts which don't touch proxy settings AFAICT. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2116119 Title: autopkgtests fail on PS7 due to mandatory proxy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/2116119/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
