Ok. So autopkgtest looks in the .deb packaging, and in this case runs debian/tests/upstream in a suitable virtualisation container, IIUC. And from the log, it uses lxc --sudo. So there might be some UID magic going on. Note that the corresponding mysql-5.6 tests (on which Paul based his implementation, I think) also started to fail the same way, so perhaps something changed on the test infrastructure: https://ci.debian.net/data/packages/unstable/amd64/m/mysql-5.6/20160909_161743.autopkgtest.log.gz Maybe you can try this patch? It only touches the test part of the packaging. The idea is to run the test suite under perl -U, which disables the errors from taint mode. If taint mode is indeed the issue here, it might fix the problem; if not, we might at least learn more about what the problem is, then. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- diff --git a/debian/tests/upstream b/debian/tests/upstream index 6addb3b..70f928c 100644 --- a/debian/tests/upstream +++ b/debian/tests/upstream @@ -29,7 +29,7 @@ EOF cd /usr/share/mysql/mysql-test echo "starting mysql-test-tun.pl..." -./mysql-test-run.pl --suite=main --vardir=$WORKDIR/var --tmpdir=$WORKDIR/tmp \ +perl -I. -U ./mysql-test-run.pl --suite=main --vardir=$WORKDIR/var --tmpdir=$WORKDIR/tmp \ --skip-ndbcluster --parallel=auto --skip-rpl \ --force --skip-test-list=$SKIP_TEST_LST $@ 2>&1 echo "run: OK" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Unfortunately, I don't have an environment set up that allows me to test, but the patch should be simple enough to hopefully work as-is. It adds the missing current-directory to @INC with -I., and disables taint errors (which will occur in taint mode once the @INC problem is fixed) with -U. Hope this helps, - Kristian.
