[Debian-ha-maintainers] Bug#1060759: resource-agents: autopkgtest failure: MailTo hanging

[Niko Tyni]

Package: resource-agents
Version: 1:4.13.0-1

Hi,

the perl_5.38.2-3 migration checks for resource-agents are currently
failing on ci.debian.net.

  https://ci.debian.net/data/autopkgtest/testing/amd64/r/resource-agents/41787962/log.gz

  250s Running: ocft test -v MailTo
  250s Starting 'MailTo' case 0 'check base env':
  250s Setting agent environment:    export OCF_RESKEY_email=root at localhost
  251s Running agent:                ./MailTo start
  274s ERROR: The agent was hanging, killed it, maybe you damaged the agent or system's environment, see details below:
  274s 

(No further details are provided AFAICS.)

I cannot reproduce this, but I *think* what happens is that autopkgtest
is choosing sendmail over exim4 when mixing packages from testing and
unstable, and sendmail tries to connect to localhost:25 and hangs due to
firewall settings. This is a guess based on my tests in a chroot where
the mails ended up in /var/mail with exim4 but actually got sent to the
root alias of the underlying host with sendmail.

Not sure what to do about this. Perhaps make the test depend on exim4
or something even simpler that can be relied to deliver locally?

Thanks for your work on Debian,
