You have been subscribed to a public bug: The delay test in fence-agents fails on stonking/resolute/questing because the autopkgtest testbed switched from a Nova VM to an LXD container.
The test runs this first, with set -e: sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ping_group_range="0 2147483647" On the VM this worked: 581s net.ipv4.ping_group_range = 0 2147483647 delay PASS On LXD it fails: 342s sysctl: setting key "net.ipv4.ping_group_range": Invalid argument 343s delay FAIL non-zero exit status 1 In an unprivileged container, gid 2147483647 is outside the user namespace mapping, so the write returns EINVAL. With set -e the test exits before running any fence agent. Same diff between the two runs is just the backend: -- ssh ... nova (Apr, pass) vs -- lxd ... (Jun, fail). Not a fence-agents or libvirt change. Fix is in the test: add isolation-machine to the delay stanza in debian/tests/control, or drop set -e for that sysctl / append || true.
