Package: autopkgtest Version: 5.42 Severity: serious Hello,
With the unshare backend(?) it seems that rebuilding a package without changing the version is causing test to fail becuase it consider the same version as a downgrade. For example: apt-get source libselinux cd libselinux-3.7 autopkgtest -U -- unshare The tests fail with something like: The following NEW packages will be installed: libpcre2-16-0 libpcre2-32-0 libpcre2-dev libpcre2-posix3 libpkgconf3 libselinux1-dev libsepol-dev libsepol2 pkg-config pkgconf pkgconf-bin The following packages will be DOWNGRADED: libselinux1 0 upgraded, 11 newly installed, 1 downgraded, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. E: Packages were downgraded and -y was used without --allow-downgrades. E: Failed to process build dependencies build FAIL badpkg Kind regards, Laurent Bigonville -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.11.5-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=fr_BE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_BE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=fr_BE:fr Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages autopkgtest depends on: ii apt-utils 2.9.10 ii libdpkg-perl 1.22.11 ii mawk 1.3.4.20240905-1 ii procps 2:4.0.4-6 ii python3 3.12.6-1 ii python3-debian 0.1.49 ii python3-distro-info 1.12 ii retry 1.0.5-3 Versions of packages autopkgtest recommends: ii autodep8 0.28+nmu1 ii fakeroot 1.36-1 Versions of packages autopkgtest suggests: pn docker-cli | docker.io <none> pn docker.io <none> pn fakemachine <none> ii genisoimage 9:1.1.11-3.5 pn incus <none> pn lxc <none> pn lxd <none> ii ovmf 2024.08-4 pn ovmf-ia32 <none> ii podman 5.2.5-1 pn qemu-efi-aarch64 <none> pn qemu-efi-arm <none> pn qemu-efi-riscv64 <none> pn qemu-system <none> ii qemu-utils 1:9.1.1+ds-2 pn schroot <none> ii util-linux 2.40.2-10 pn vmdb2 <none> pn zerofree <none> -- no debconf information
