Thank you for that! I agree with your analysis. Here some further comments:

That problem is easily fixed by fixing the sed call in enable_pockets() here:
https://sources.debian.org/src/unattended-upgrades/1.17/debian/tests/common-functions/
More worrysome I found the problem of the autopkgtest failure of debuerreotype
which fails because the release file is expired. There is nothing the
debuerreotype autopkgtest can do about this other than patching
/usr/sbin/debootstrap before running the test. I reported the problem here:
https://bugs.debian.org/953617
My package mmdebstrap has a similar problem. During my autopkgtest I am setting
up a mirror that does not include translations (because they are not needed for
the tests so why download unnecessary data) and the "apt-get update" will fail
because it cannot find the translations. Again there is no way to override this
(the APT_CONFIG environment variable is ignored) and I resorted to running:
$ sed -i 's/apt-get update/apt-get -o Acquire::Languages=none update/' /usr/sbin/debootstrap
Before running debootstrap in mmdebstrap's autopkgtest. This is not optimal and
should not be necessary. I filed a bug here:
https://bugs.debian.org/953588
Furthermore it is no longer possible to create a Debian chroot from
snapshot.debian.org because the "apt-get upgrade" call will always attempt
installing current packages and thus pollute the snapshot with newer packages:
https://bugs.debian.org/95359
And the --no-check-gpg and --keyring options do not work anymore because even
if they are passed to debootstrap, they are not passed onwards to apt:
https://bugs.debian.org/953593
Some of these problems can be solved by allowing to pass custom options to apt
but the snapshot.debian.org usecase cannot be made working again without a new
option that allows to disable running "apt-get upgrade" at the end. I think it
is important to be able to create a chroot from snapshot.debian.org so I think
the only way to achieve this is to either revert this change completely or to
add a new option allowing to disable this "feature".
Thanks!
cheers, joschAttachment:
