Improve autopkgtests

Simon McVittie requested to merge wip/smcv/bug1081799 into main

  • d/tests/foreign-cross-exe-wrapper: Make sure rc is initialized

    If the first test happens to be successful (for example running an amd64 binary in an i386 environment that happens to be running on an amd64-capable kernel) then rc will be uninitialized, causing the script to fail due to the use of set -u.

    Helps: #1081799

  • d/tests/control: Skip testing foreign-cross-exe-wrapper if qemu fails

    On ppc64el, qemu-i386 currently crashes with a segfault, and on s390x, qemu-arm64 (and possibly others) fails with:

      qemu-arm64: /usr/bin/busybox: Invalid note in PT_GNU_PROPERTY

    Neither of these is actually a cross-exe-wrapper bug.

    Closes: #1081799 (when combined with previous commit)

  • d/tests: Install additional packages with --no-install-recommends

    Otherwise we end up installing qemu-user-binfmt, which could make the tests pass for the wrong reasons.
