[Pkg-salt-team] Bug#964270: salt: autopkgtest regression: [Errno 6] No such device or address

Source: salt
Version: 3001+dfsg1-1

Severity: serious

Usertags: regression

Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of salt the autopkgtest of salt fails in testing
when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of salt from
unstable. It passes when run with only packages from testing. In tabular
form:

                       pass            fail
salt                   from testing    3001+dfsg1-1
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration to testing [1]. Can
you please investigate the situation and fix it?
