Merge ~siretart/britney:devel into ~ubuntu-release/britney/+git/hints-ubuntu:devel

[Reinhard Tartler]

ignore tests on golang-github-containers-common/all/armhf

The test result indicate that on that particular architecture, the device /dev/null appear to be not owned by root:root, but some other non-zero uid, which breaks tests in this package.

It's to do with lxd (armhf runs in lxd, the other arches are VMs) not armhf per se.

Wait a minute, let me check what's going on here.

Ok. The upstream of lxd think that the test is wrong. We can merge this hint, but it would be much better IMHO if we were to also fix the tests, so you can actually continue to have coverage on armhf.

You can do one of the following

  - Remove the check which is not guaranteed to hold true inside containers. This is preferred.
  - Split the test into ones which fail inside containers and ones which don't. Run those under separate autopkgtests, and add Restrictions: isolation-machine to the first set.

review: Approve

(btw, I will fix this to force-reset-test rather than force-badtest; that means that if it ever starts passing again, i.e. if and when you/someone fix this, we get proper regression tracking.)
