Dear Axel,
The first one, thanks a lots for your reply.
But I just want to ask you, do you know some other tools to test package
working like autopkgtest?

The ack test suite is run when the package is built.

ack supports autopkgtest, e.g. if you want to test the installed ack package
on your system with autopkgtest, you can do this like this:
First install the needed dependencies (as root):
# apt build-dep ack
# apt install autopkgtest pkg-perl-autopkgtest
Then (as normal user) download and unpack the source package (needed for the
included test suite):
$ apt-get source ack
Change into the unpacked source package and run autopkgtest:
$ autopkgtest -B ./ack-2.14 --- null
It will run the upstream test suite on the installed ack package.
It will though through an error if the transitional package ack-grep is not
installed:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
dpkg-query: package 'ack-grep' is not installed and no information is
available Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, and
dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
# Failed test 'Got status information for package ack-grep'
# at
/usr/share/pkg-perl-autopkgtest/runtime-deps-and-recommends.d/syntax.t line
81.
# Failed test 'Got file list for package ack-grep'
# at
/usr/share/pkg-perl-autopkgtest/runtime-deps-and-recommends.d/syntax.t line
87.
# Looks like you failed 2 tests of 8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can either ignore these errors or install the transitional package
ack-grep beforehand.
Hope, this helps.
Regards, Axel
