| slangasek | why does the ubuntu kernel's test suite install... exim? | 05:00 |
|---|---|---|
| apw | slangasek, erm something must think it wants to send email ... where you seeing that, adt, somewhere else ? | 21:12 |
| slangasek | apw: it's in the autopkgtest output; when the ubuntu-regression-test test runs, it goes about installing a bunch of packages one by one (nice that the output lists the commands it runs, btw! Wish other things would do that...) | 21:13 |
| apw | slangasek, yeah ... it is | 21:13 |
| slangasek | apw: I looked through the code and it appears to call a sendmail api directly to talk to gmail | 21:13 |
| apw | *blink* | 21:13 |
| slangasek | no visible invocations of sendmail or exim in the tree | 21:13 |
| apw | why on earth would it need to do that ... bjf ^ | 21:13 |
| slangasek | and exim is not the preferred mta :) | 21:13 |
| slangasek | well I think it's sending mail to Brad | 21:14 |
| apw | yeah, i'd say it is a hangover from the old trigger mechanisms, we moved to aqpm for most things so its likely redundant | 21:14 |
| slangasek | ahhhh why is this machine firewalled off of ddebs.u.c! | 21:14 |
| slangasek | apw: ok. fwiw I'm working on fixing the root cause of the actual kernel autopkgtest failures right now (util-linux stuck in xenial-proposed, and autopkgtest doing silly things with base packages) | 21:15 |
| slangasek | ahhhh why is binutils failing to create dbgsyms packages! | 21:17 |
| apw | slangasek, doing silly things? most of the recent carnage was to do with the more selective package pinning changes ... | 22:00 |
| slangasek | apw: the autopkgtest infrastructure does a dist-upgrade of the testbed before installing any per-package deps; then it sets the package pins; which means libuuid1 gets upgraded to xenial-proposed, then we drop a pin that says libuuid-dev can only come from xenial | 22:00 |
| slangasek | according to infinity this is a deliberate misfeature at the moment because it "ensures testing of the base packages". | 22:01 |
| slangasek | but those packages should get their own autopkgtests declared, and we should set the pin before touching anything in the tetsbed | 22:01 |
| Ben64 | are we going to get new kernels without rebooting now? | 22:10 |
| apw | slangasek, yep, that does sound confusing indeed | 22:24 |
