Hi Andreas,
I ran loki's tests on my machine in sbuild environment, and I got no errors. As I understand it, the loki.dat file has to exist after "prep" steps. I added an "ls" into the run-unit-test to check this. Also, I turned on the build-time tests that are more or less the same as for the autopkgtest. The build-time tests also finish successfully for me.
Could you, please, rerun pbuilder again?
Regards,
Liubov

I need to admit that your contributions had a high level and its hard to
believe for me that its your first time contributing to open source.
I'm always happy to see competent students in GSoC.

My personal experience with schroot is that I never managed to setup
sbuild to my satisfaction. The configuration steps always seemed to be
quite complex. Thus I sticked to pbuilder (which I by chance started
using first).

I can only repeat what I said to previous GSoC students: Please always
give your study and your exams preference over GSoC work. In case there
is urgent stuff for you to do just tell me and all is fine.
Kind regards
Andreas.
