autopkgtest 3.5 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

autopkgtest (3.5) unstable; urgency=medium


  Improvements:
  * VirtSubProc.cmd_reboot(): Save/restore downtmp instead of creating a new
    one. This is more useful for reboot scenarios within tests.
  * Support tests that want to reboot the testbed (for runners which support
    rebooting). Document this in doc/README.package-tests.rst.
  * tests/testdesc: Add test case for Debian packages without a test control.
  * If there is no Debian test control file, synthesize one for Ruby and Perl
    packages, using gem2deb-test-runner and pkg-perl-autopkgtest. Thanks to
    Antonio Terceiro!
  * ssh-setup/adb: Unlock the greeter before running tests.

  Bug fixes:
  * qemu: Reconfigure tzdata after copying /etc/timezone, to make that change
    actually active.
  * qemu: Wait an additional 3 seconds after the login prompt appears on
    ttyS0. Without that, the system time is wrong, causing bad file
    timestamps. Unfortunately polling runlevel or the "hwclock" status file
    doesn't help.
  * Always keep the same downtmp even after resetting the testbed.  Some built
    trees/tests use absolute path names and break when being moved around
    after a reset. This already worked in most cases by accident due to a bug,
    but now clean up the code to be explicit about it.
  * Expand '@' to quasi-versioned (>= 0~) dependencies to avoid satisfying
    them by virtual packages. (Closes: #761003)
  * Ensure that the build tree is world-readable. Fixes permission error when
    running adt-run as non-root with a different --user and a tight umask.
    (Closes: #761049)
  * lxc: Ensure the container root directory is accessible to non-root users.
    Works around lxc-start-ephemeral bug with tight umasks.
    (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1367730)
  * lxc: Fix lxc-clone option (--new, not --name).
