[Pkg-dpdk-devel] Bug#1069611: dpdk-kmods: isolation-machine autopkgtest fails: tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive

[Paul Gevers]

Source: dpdk-kmods
Version: 0~20230205+git-1
Severity: important
User: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Usertags: isolation-machine

Dear maintainer(s),

Your package has an autopkgtest, great. I recently added support for 
isolation-machine tests on ci.debian.net for amd64 and added your 
package to the list to use that. However, it fails. Can you please 
investigate the situation and fix it? I copied some of the output at the 
bottom of this report.

The release team has announced [1] that failing autopkgtest on amd64 and 
arm64 are considered RC in testing, but because machine-isolation 
support by ci.debian.net is new I have not marked this bug as serious (yet).

More information about this bug and the reason for filing it can be 
found on
