Sorry I got confused and was apply to an older (0.120 version) it applies
perfectly for me against 0.125 the latest version. I believe version
looks ok to
a basic piuparts but I am having troubles testing a distribution
upgrade with piuparts
but that might be a limitation of piuparts or my knowledge on how to run it.
Help on how to proceed would be appreciated.
It may well be that the unpatched version is fine now - I did most of
my testing with the patched
package.
* I checked it with a basic piuparts :
piuparts initramfs-tools_0.125_all.deb
* and got a complaint:
....
4m20.9s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system:
/var/log/apt/eipp.log.xz not owned
....
I got this on the unpatched *and* the patched version of the package.
It turns out this is a piupart bug - fixed in version 0.72
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=830527
I upgraded to backports version of piuparts:
apt-get install piuparts/jessie-backports
vagrant(0)% piuparts --version
piuparts 0.72~bpo8+1
and it is much happier:
* piuparts -s piuparts-base.tgz initramfs-tools-core_0.125+nmu1_all.deb
....
4m55.5s DEBUG: Removed directory tree at /tmp/tmpJyGQJ8
4m55.5s INFO: PASS: All tests.
4m55.5s INFO: piuparts run ends.
* Running the .changes file into a log and grep-ing the info entries
all looks good.
piuparts -b piuparts-base.tgz -l piuparts-log.txt

Is there a way to do this with piuparts or do I have to figure out
some way to testing this by actually physically upgrading my vagrant
box to stretch and checking if there are files left behind?
Finally if the patched version is worth applying what other functional
tests should be considered to validate the patched version?
Thanks
Andrew
