autopkgtest 4.2 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

autopkgtest (4.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * ssh: Fix result of tests that break the testbed. (LP: #1630578)
  * qemu: Fix user/password login mode without a ttyS1 root shell.
     - Concatenate bytes with each other, not a str to a byte.
     - Sync/flush console after sending password and ttyS1 shell command, wait
       until login is complete before continuing.
     - Send password to sudo for ttyS1 shell command, to also work with
       password-requiring sudo. (LP: #1630963)
  * qemu: Fix reboot in user/password login mode.
  * ssh: Add --capability option.
    This is useful to run tests which require an isolation level or have
    breaks-testbed without a setup script.
  * autopkgtest-build-lxd: Ask "lxc profile" for default bridge instead of
    /etc/default/lxd-bridge. The latter went away in recent LXD versions, and
    "lxc profile show default" also works in earlier versions.
  * Make --apt-upgrade consider a "404" error as test failure.
    Previously all errors from "apt-get update" were considered temporary
    failures, i. e. the setup command always exited with 1. But if we specify
    e. g. a nonexisting release from a distro or a PPA, this won't just go
    away by itself -- we want the test to actually fail instead of getting
    stuck in an eternal "retry on temporary failures" loop.
  * schroot: Don't fail on stderr of schroot as long as it succeeds.
    (LP: #1637898)
  * qemu: Hide detected udev file system properties on /dev/baseimage.
    (Closes: #842299)

  [ Simon McVittie ]
  * VirtSubproc: open arbitrary files in binary mode.
  * VirtSubproc: if check_exec status is nonzero, include stderr in message.
  * qemu: put the shared directory in /run. If the virtual machine's root
    filesystem is read-only, we won't be able to create /autopkgtest.
  * qemu: Move eofcat into /tmp. This avoids having to write it to /bin, which
    might be read-only.  Re-create eofcat on every boot for this.
  * source_rules_command: log the result we got if it is not as expected
    (Closes: #842302)
  * Add 'needs-reboot' restriction. This allows tests to be explicit about
    needing to reboot the machine, rather than assuming that
    'isolation-machine' is enough. It is plumbed into the existing 'reboot'
    capability, which is distinct from 'isolation-machine'.
    (Closes: #842300)
  * Add --setup-commands-boot for commands that must be run at every boot.
    This can be used for doing "mount -o remount,rw /" before any dpkg
    operation, or transient setup like writing files into /run/.
    (Closes: #842091)
