See the (long) commit message for reasoning, ah well you know I'll copy and paste it here - might be easier.

The issue reproduces in autopkgtest:
$ sudo ~/work/autopkgtest/autopkgtest/runner/autopkgtest --no-built-binaries --apt-upgrade --apt-pocket=proposed=src:re2c --setup-commands="dpkg --add-architecture i386; apt-get update" --shell-fail -a i386 strongswan_5.8.2-1ubuntu1.dsc -- qemu --qemu-options='-cpu host' --ram-size=2048 --cpus 2 ~/work/autopkgtest-focal-amd64.img

But it makes no sense, if you check in there:

ubuntu@autopkgtest:~$ dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
i386
ubuntu@autopkgtest:~$ dpkg --print-architecture
amd64

And listed by
ubuntu@autopkgtest:~$ apt-cache policy strongswan
strongswan:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 5.8.1-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
     5.8.2-1ubuntu1 500

        990 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages
        990 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main i386 Packages

But still it can't find/install it:
ubuntu@autopkgtest:~$ sudo apt-get install strongswan:i386
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package strongswan:i386

So far so good, but why does it then trigger and fail on the i386 test?
http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/s/strongswan/focal/i386

Because from d/control:
Package: strongswan
Architecture: all

But it is not just all being Arch:all it also happens to
Package: strongswan-pki
Architecture: any

And per https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2019-December/040859.html it isn't part of the whitelist.
So I'd expect the test to just "not run".

I'm a bit uncertain, if the resolution is a different one than merging this MP please let me know what it is.

[Christian Ehrhardt  (paelzer)]

In a similar fashion IMHO "kronosnet" which also shows up in excused shouldn't run i386 tests at all. I'm waiting how this MP resolves to know how to handle those.

But if you want feel free to add it right away along strongswan.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

Because strongswan is not in the i386 whitelist, we shouldn't be adding a versioned hint. I already added a hint for strongswan/all/i386 before reviewing this MP, so rejecting now.

review: Disapprove

[Christian Ehrhardt  (paelzer)]

Ok, so no-whitelist = unversioned hint - thanks!

Strongswan is not in the i386 whitelist but triggers tests

The issue reproduces in autopkgtest:
$ sudo ~/work/autopkgtest/autopkgtest/runner/autopkgtest --no-built-binaries
--apt-upgrade --apt-pocket=proposed=src:re2c --setup-commands="dpkg
--add-architecture i386; apt-get update" --shell-fail -a i386
strongswan_5.8.2-1ubuntu1.dsc -- qemu --qemu-options='-cpu host'
--ram-size=2048 --cpus 2 ~/work/autopkgtest-focal-amd64.img

For now ignore it at least on the current version.
