Package: autopkgtest Version: 5.22 Severity: normal At present, autopkgtest-build-lxc creates a container which only has system users listed in /etc/passwd. This means that autopkgtest-virt-lxc runs all tests as root, which is probably not the best of ideas, as it's not a "typical use" of most packages.
My suggestion is to include a command such as: adduser --disabled-password --gecos "Normal user," user in /usr/share/autopkgtest/setup-commands/setup-testbed so that there is a non-root user in the virtual environment (though I'm not sure this is correct for virtualisation systems other than lxc, so maybe that's the wrong place to add this user-creation command). Best wishes, Julian
