Hi Dan, I have failed to replicate this bug locally for several days now. In addition, the livecd-rootfs tests are also green despite running on the same autopkgtest build. There might have been a semi-related issue with the lxc virt-server but that has a fix committed and will be released with the next version. I am closing this bug for now as cannot replicate.

Status in autopkgtest package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Related bugs: LP: #2075546, LP: #2078980 It appears that an implication of systemd tmp.mount is that /tmp may be mounted as nodev, as can be seen in some cases now when using the qemu backend for an Oracular image. autopkgtests running in an isolation-machine environment would reasonably conclude that they could create device nodes, certainly a requirement for livecd-rootfs and I expect others. AUTOPKGTEST_TMP today is of the form /tmp/autopkgtest.tA1oiD/autopkgtest_tmp in the current setup, so /tmp being nodev should mean that AUTOPKGTEST_TMP is as well. As an explicit interface, I suggest that AUTOPKGTEST_TMP should be located somewhere that dev nodes can be created.
