Bug#916087: lintian: "exec failed: Text file busy" when running tests by tag

[Chris Lamb <lamby@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.116
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-CC: Felix Lechner <felix.lechner@lease-up.com>

Hi Felix,

I think your recent commits have introduced a regression in the test
harness:

  $ debian/rules runtests onlyrun=legacy-maintainer-scripts
  .... running tests ....
  mkdir -p "/home/lamby/git/debian/lintian/lintian/debian/test-out"
  t/runtests -k -j 9 t "/home/lamby/git/debian/lintian/lintian/debian/test-out" legacy-maintainer-scripts
  ENV[PATH]=/home/lamby/git/projects/dotfiles/dotfiles/..//bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/home/lamby/.bashhub/bin
  pass tests::legacy-maintainer-scripts

  $ debian/rules runtests onlyrun=tag:uses-dpkg-database-directly
  .... running tests ....
  mkdir -p "/home/lamby/git/debian/lintian/lintian/debian/test-out"
  t/runtests -k -j 9 t "/home/lamby/git/debian/lintian/lintian/debian/test-out" tag:uses-dpkg-database-directly
  ENV[PATH]=/home/lamby/git/projects/dotfiles/dotfiles/..//bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/home/lamby/.bashhub/bin
  error tests::scripts-maintainer-general: exec failed: Text file busy at /home/lamby/git/debian/lintian/lintian/lib/Lintian/Command.pm line 274.
   at /home/lamby/git/debian/lintian/lintian/lib/Lintian/Command.pm line 274.
   at t/runtests line 482.

  pass tests::files-uses-dpkg-database-directly
  pass tests::legacy-maintainer-scripts

  Failed tests (1)
      tests::scripts-maintainer-general
  make: *** [debian/rules:51: runtests] Error 1


ie. Only when running tests by tag name, even if it's the same test.
