I think autopkgtest is working as expected. You asked to pin src:nftables from -proposed, autopkgtest did that, even if this causes dependency resolution issues. In the specific case you also need to add src:libnftnl to the pinned packages.
Normally when this problem happens, autopkgtest re-tries to install the test dependencies dropping the strict pinning, i.e. by testing with all -proposed. In this case this isn't happening because it is not autopkgtest installing those dependencies, but it's the test itself, so there is no "all-proposed fallback" and also the error message is a bit obscure. [Ideally test dependencies should be declared in d/t/control and installed by autopkgtest, and not by the test scripts.] In the future autopkgtest will somehow use the new apt solver3, but we are not there yet. I don't think https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1088971 is related to this in any way. Does this fit your understanding of the problem? ** Changed in: autopkgtest (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2091318 Title: misconfigured pin-priority for trigger packages in systemd upstream test To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autopkgtest/+bug/2091318/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
