[Bug 1342838] Re: Apt indexes can expire quickly, cause failures

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package autopkgtest - 3.3.1

---------------
autopkgtest (3.3.1) unstable; urgency=medium


  * Accept comma separators in Tests:, Restrictions:, and Features: fields;
    this is consistent with Depends: and avoids skipping tests. (LP: #1347958)
  * Generalize implementation of getting an interactive shell in testbeds.
    Most runners now don't need to provide a hook_shell() any more.
  * Export install environment to interactive testbed shells, so that
    unpacked test depends in the temp dir are accessible. (LP: #1339103)
  * lxc: Don't fail on a nonexisting /etc/environment or /etc/default/locale.
    (LP: #1348749)
  * adb ssh script: Add --apt-update option to run "apt-get update" (with
    temporarily switching to r/w), to run tests on older development images.
    (LP: #1342838)
  * Drop the very short and unnecessary install timeouts from the NullRunner
    tests.

Title:
  Apt indexes can expire quickly, cause failures

Status in “autopkgtest” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  autopkgtest depends on apt indexes on the target being up to date.
  This can cause failures when the indexes change, especially when
  tracking a development release with frequent updates.

  At the least, I would request a small note when this error occurs that
  would inform the user to update the apt indexes on the target, then
  try running adt-run again.
