The volatildap DEP8 tests have been failing "forever" because of the slapd apparmor profile, which (correctly) prevents slapd from reading/writing to the directory that the test suite sets up:
apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" namespace="root//lxd-autopkgtest-lxd-kwrndt_<var-snap-lxd-common-lxd>" profile="/usr/sbin/slapd" name="/tmp/tmp15zext9c/slapd.conf" pid=27408 comm="slapd" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000000 ouid=1000000
We could disable apparmor before the run, or add a local set of rules prior to the test pointing at that temporary directory. Something like this in /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.sbin.slapd:
/tmp/<tmpdir>/** rwk,
and then restart apparmor, or reload the profile (via sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/profile.name)
This bug was fixed in the package volatildap - 1.3.0-2ubuntu2
---------------
volatildap (1.3.0-2ubuntu2) focal; urgency=medium
* d/t/run-tests: only amend the apparmor profile if apparmor is
installed and enabled.
volatildap (1.3.0-2ubuntu1) focal; urgency=medium
* d/t/control, d/t/run-tests: amend the slapd apparmor profile
to allow the tests to use /tmp/** for the slapd daemon
(LP: #1858800)
