The tests shouldn't require that there isn't already a system dbus-daemon. One of the tests (uid-permissions when re-run as root) is known to fail in 1.10.4+. This was not caught by the upstream test suite because it is not routinely run as root. I believe I've fixed this upstream, and the same patch has addressed test failures in Ubuntu, but I haven't had time to do a new release yet. I thought the symptom of that would be an assertion failure, not a timeout; but it did seem to be hitting a timeout on autopkgtest.ubuntu.com prior to the patch being included, so perhaps this is the same thing? Is there a way I can reproduce the ci.debian.net environment on a local virtual machine or cluster of virtual machines, preferably jessie amd64? https://ci.debian.net/doc/file.MAINTAINERS.html currently still documents the schroot-based setup. > I am blacklisting dbus for now, and will reconsider that when this bug > is closed. I'll close this bug when I believe the test failure is fixed. S
