Hi, When I want to fix autopkgtests for a package on a particular architecture, I currently see no way to run autopkgtests before I dput since porter boxes do not provide root access which autopkgtest needs. Currently I am manually hacking around the test scripts and running the autopkgtests but this does not emulate the autopkgtest environment well enough. It also does not work well for daemon-like packages for instance. Additionally, say, I have a package which FTBFS due to something broken in a build dependency on a particular architecture. If I fixup the problem in the build-dependency, there is no way I could test if the target package really works on that arch since I do not see a way to install the fixed builddep without uploading it to the archive. Have you found any way around these? Best, Nilesh
