Comment 16 for bug 1630578

This bug was fixed in the package autopkgtest - 5.0

---------------
autopkgtest (5.0) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * Drop obsolete adt-* CLI
    autopkgtest 4.0 with its "autopkgtest" program has been around for a
    year, Debian's and Ubuntu's CI moved to that, and the Debian 9.0 release
    is behind us. Drop "adt-run" and the corresponding adt-virt-* and
    adt-build-* command line interfaces now.
    Add Breaks: for debci for versions that still relied on adt-*.
  * lxc, qemu, ssh: Shorten path of shared directory.
    This helps to reduce socket path lengths in tests.
    (See Debian #860554, LP: #1680577)
  * Drop obsolete ubuntu-touch-session setup script.
    This hasn't been maintained/tested for ages, and with the demise of
    Ubuntu Touch this is now completely obsolete. (Closes: #835836)
  * Avoid bare "except:" clauses
  * tests/autopkgtest_args: pyflakes/pycodestyle fixes
  * tests: Don't run LXC tests with --ephemeral.
    It's not the default and ephemeral containers tend to fail to start too
    often.
  * tests/testpkg: Update Standards-Version and debhelper level.
    Priority "extra" is deprecated, so move to "optional".
  * README.package-tests.rst: Clarify role of control file, add simple
    examples (Closes: #870654)
  * README.package-tests.rst: Update Testsuite: documentation.
    All supported Debian releases now have a new enough dpkg, and Ubuntu
    14.04 will not get new tests any more. (Closes: #876008)
  * Run apt-ftparchive for local debs on testbed instead of host.
    This is slightly more correct as it will produce the format that the
    testbed's apt expects (although that doesn't matter much). It also
    allows autopkgtest to be run on non-Debian hosts.
    As apt-utils is not essential, install it if necessary.
  * README.package-tests.rst: Clarify Testsuite: values
    `autopkgtest` is not any more the only defined value for Testsuite:, as
    the paragraph below already explains.
  * setup-commands/setup-testbed: Look at /etc/os-release for determining
    distribution name. Stop hardcoding "debian|ubuntu|kali" and get this
    information from os-release's ID field. (Closes: #868678)
  * debian/rules: Drop obsolete pysupport override.
    Not necessary any more since dh compat level 9.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 4.1.0. (No changes necessary.)

  [ Stéphane Graber ]
  * debian/tests/lxd: Update to support LXD network/storage API

  [ Steve Langasek ]
  * Fix release name parsing with arch-qualified sources.list
    (Closes: #870393)

  [ Antonio Terceiro ]
  * autopkgtest-build-lxc: Correctly clean cache for Debian containers
