You generally need to root to create and run a chroot, so this is expected. > Could something like that be part of Bodhi? I had a look at the source code. piuparts.py [1] has a mishmash of debian/ubuntu distro-specific config, functions for chroot creation, process management, helper functions, and the actual logic of testing stuff. That's why it's so large. Thankfully we wouldn't need most of that. It seems that we *could* use a test like that in taskotron. In particular, install the package, uninstall, reinstall, make sure scriptlets don't fail and not errors are logged. There's dist.upgradepath test, but I have no idea what it does. Unfortunately taskotron is rather opaque :( [2] [1] https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/piuparts/piuparts.git/tree/piuparts.py [2] https://taskotron.fedoraproject.org/ documentation link points to https://docs.qadevel.cloud.fedoraproject.org/libtaskotron/latest/docs which cannot be resolved.
