Comment 5 for bug 1393474

This bug was fixed in the package autopkgtest - 3.8.1

---------------
autopkgtest (3.8.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * If the testbed does not have root privileges (e. g. missing sudo
    password), install click packages with pkcon and skip the AppArmor rule
    adjustment. This makes non-root click tests at least work for
    non-Autopilot cases. (LP: #1384417)
  * Make --shell-fail also apply to test dependency installation failure.
  * Run root tests through "su" as well (if possible), to ensure that these
    also get a proper PAM/logind session with all runners. (LP: #1393474)
  * Skip the test_tmp_install tests if apt-get download does not work. This
    might happen in some build environments which completely disable
    networking or don't have working apt-get download for some reason.
    (Closes: #769687)
  * Don't put the log FIFO into the output directory. This avoids keeping it
    in --output-dir, which fails if the output dir happens to be in the tested
    tree itself. (LP: #1393426)
  * adt-setup-vm: Don't purge man-db. It uninstalls way too much on images
    which aren't just minimal environments.
  * adt-setup-vm: Drop bogus "X-Start-Before" line in generated init.d script.
    (Closes: #770517)
  * Respect DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck (side issue in #769687)
