Bug Description

[Impact]

autopkgtest execution for Xenial is broken, blocking automated inclusion into xenial-updates of SRUs for packages that python-virtualenv depends on. So human intervention is needed.

[Test Case]

$ pull-lp-source python-virtualenv xenial
$ autopkgtest -U --apt-pocket=proposed python-virtualenv-15.0.1+ds/ -- lxd autopkgtest/ubuntu/xenial/amd64

Expected Result: all tests pass

Actual Result:
smoketest-2 fails because world 4.0 doesn't support python2.7
smoketest-3 fails because gcc is not available

[Regression Potential]

None expected, because this change is already available Debian and Yakkety/Zesty

[Other Info]

http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/python-virtualenv/yakkety/amd64 and http://ci.debian.net/packages/p/python-virtualenv/unstable/amd64/ recently started failing. Apparently until recently it downloaded the "chroot":

  Downloading world-3.1.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): setuptools in /tmp/autopkgtest.zlm6cw/autopkgtest_tmp/p2a/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from world)
Installing collected packages: world
Successfully installed world-3.1.1
it originates from ITALY

but now:

  Downloading world-4.0.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Python 3.4.0 or better is required

and then it apparently tries to build it, but is missing gcc and python?-dev.

So some external resource changed and broke the test, which uncovers that python?-virtualenv ought to Recommends: gcc, python?-dev.

Then the test should add "Restrictions: needs-recommends"

This also affecs xenial, the test now fails in the same way (locally, not on the infra as it didn't run there yet since the server change).

This is just a packaging bug. The new world version depends on atpublic which has an optional C component. world is only used in the dep-8 tests so this doesn't affect the virtualenv package itself at all.

I'll do a new release to Debian and sync it to Ubuntu. I'm not sure it's worth SRUing for Xenial.

I just uploaded 15.0.3+ds-2 to unstable. This pins the version of world to < 4 which I think is a better fix. As soon as that's imported I'll syncpackage it over.

Still have to decide about SRU for Xenial.

SRUing it by itself is too much effort/noise indeed, but if we ever SRU virtualenv for anything "real" it would make sense to slip this in so that it doesn't regress its tests.

Thanks for the fix!

Yep, totally agreed!

While SRUing a fix for bug 1626258, it was brought my attention to this bug as the blocker to automatically get my fix into xenial-updates, so here I'm attaching the same fix that landed in Yakkety

Hello Martin, or anyone else affected,

Accepted python-virtualenv into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-virtualenv/15.0.1+ds-3ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
