[Bug 1781586] Re: Skip rebuilding python-apt in upgrade autopkgtests

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package unattended-upgrades -
1.1ubuntu1.18.04.6

---------------
unattended-upgrades (1.1ubuntu1.18.04.6) bionic; urgency=medium

  * Unlock for dpkg operations with apt_pkg.pkgsystem_unlock_inner() when it is
    available. Also stop running when reacquiring the lock fails.
    Thanks to Julian Andres Klode for original partial patch (LP: #1789637)
  * Skip rebuilding python-apt in upgrade autopkgtests.
    Python-apt has a new build dependency making the rebuilding as is failing
    and the reference handling issue is worked around in unattended-upgrades
    already. (LP: #1781586)
  * Stop trying when no adjustment could be made and adjust package candidates
    only to lower versions (LP: #1785093)
  * Skip already adjusted packages from being checked for readjusting.
    This makes it clearer that the recursion ends and can also be a bit quicker.

Title:
  Skip rebuilding python-apt in upgrade autopkgtests

Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Bionic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Python-apt has a new build dependency making the rebuilding as is
  failing and the reference handling issue is worked around in
  unattended-upgrades already.

   * Table updates of python-apt may make u-u autopkgtest fail without
  the u-u package having any problem when it is installed.

  
  [Test Case]

   * Check upgrade-all-security autopkgtest output, it should not
  rebuild the python-apt package.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Autopkgtest may fail due running it with not rebuilt python-apt.
  This problem can be caught easily when testing the package.
