commit 4beb1a4c4b41a2aa9bd0d520c6fb880be056e76c
Author: Paride Legovini <paride@debian.org>
Date: Mon Sep 14 13:50:41 2026 +0200
Consolidate testbed "reset" naming onto "revert"
Function names, docstrings and log messages used both "reset" and
"revert" for the operation of bringing the testbed back to a clean
state, which is confusing. Consolidate on "revert".
Historically the two terms encoded a distinction:
- "revert" was the low-level mechanism: the virt-server capability and
protocol command that rolls the testbed back to a pristine state.
- "reset" was a higher-level, "smart" autopkgtest concept. The old
Testbed.reset() tracked testbed state (self.modified, deps_installed,
needs_reset()) and only issued a revert when necessary. Moreover, an
apt-only path provided a manual apt-config cleanup as a fallback for
testbeds that lack the revert capability.
That distinction was essentially removed when the apt-only path got
moved to DebBinaries, and even more when when Testbed.reset() was
simplified to always revert if the capability is present (commit "Always
revert testbed before running individual tests"). At that point reset()
became a thin wrapper over revert, so keeping a separate word is no
longer useful and creates confusion.

a-virt-lxd: bring back --vm to force a VM over a container
Image type auto-detection does not work on simplestreams remotes, where
a VM image can share its alias with a container image and thus cannot be
requested specifically. Restore --vm as an explicit override: when given
it skips type detection, adds the isolation-machine capability, and is
passed through to launch so the VM variant is selected.
Thanks: Alessandro Astone
commit ff214e885c76b9d3674fa40d85b7c979ab19e083
Author: Paride Legovini <paride@debian.org>
Date: Mon Sep 14 11:51:13 2026 +0200
setup-testbed: always write deb822 apt sources
The auto-detection branch used to preserve the style of the base
image's apt sources, writing either deb822 .sources or one-line-style
deb entries in sources.list. All supported testbeds now understand
deb822 sources, so drop the one-line-style output branches and always
write deb822.
Reading the base image's existing sources to auto-detect $RELEASE and
$MIRROR still handles both formats, as some base images continue to
ship a one-line sources.list.

tests: avoid apt segfault in test_persistent_apt_failure on old apt
Corrupt an apt.conf.d fragment rather than sources.list: a malformed
sources.list makes "apt-get build-dep" segfault on old apt (e.g.
bionic's 1.6), which is the code path used when apt lacks "satisfy".
A broken apt.conf produces the same permanent error across all apt
versions.

setup-testbed: drop the Ubuntu 12.04 grub fallback
Xenial and Stretch already support /etc/default/grub.d/*.cfg.
Create the directory if necessary and always use the drop-in file
instead of editing /etc/default/grub for older GRUB versions.

build-lxc: drop the legacy lxcpath lookup
The supported LXC baseline already provides lxc-config lxc.lxcpath.
Remove the fallback to the old lxcpath spelling and the hardcoded
/var/lib/lxc default, letting a failed lookup report an error.

testdesc: use python-debian for architecture wildcard matching
Use DpkgArchTable.matches_architecture() instead of spawning Perl to
call Dpkg::Arch::debarch_is(). The required python-debian version
already provides this API.
This removes the last runtime use of libdpkg-perl. Drop the package
dependency and its explicit installation in the quicktests CI job.

runner: stop generating unused fake source metadata
The fake .dsc for unbuilt source trees was only read by the legacy
build-dependency installation path. With that path removed, nothing

ci: use Bionic for the lxc-old-testbed job
Xenial's systemd 229 cannot boot on cgroup-v2-only hosts: it attempts to
mount the legacy systemd cgroup hierarchy and freezes.
Use Bionic instead. Its systemd supports cgroup v2, while apt 1.6 is
still older than 1.9.0 and exercises the .dsc fallback for missing
apt-get satisfy.

Update baseline testbed requirements (apt 1.2.35, python3.5.1)
Debian 8 (jessie) is out of ELTS support [0]. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (trusty)
is still in legacy ESM support [1], but the small number of Trusty
packages with autopkgtests does not justify keeping Trusty support until
(at least) May 2029. Running tests on Trusty will still be possible
using an older version of autopkgtest.

runner: normalize unbuilt-tree path
Without this, passing a path to a directory with a trailing slash

lxd auxverb: do not execute commands with --force-noninteractive
Do not execute auxverb commands using --force-noninteractive as that
breaks --shell/--shell-fail.
The idea of using --force-noninteractive came from [1], with the problem
described there also being reproducible using Incus. I do not believe
--force-noninteractive made a big difference, while --disable-stdin did.
