Hey Christopher,

sorry for the long delay on that one!

Right. It's still unclear why this would fail as root in the
container, but this might be due to bind-mouns and mapping users in
unprivileged containers.

Thanks. Defaulting to cd to / instead of . seems harmless to me, and
tests pass with that. So I committed a slightly cleaner patch:

  anonscm.debian.org/cgit/autopkgtest/autopkgtest.git/commit/?id=3e48b68e851

Sorry, the code changed a lot since then; which version were you
using? install_apt() does call the shell on failure after apt-get -f
install. Do you have a log of this?

I'm afraid I don't have meaningful tips without seeing the log with
the apt error.

Thanks,

Martin
