All tests from test_smartos.py fail in a chroot as follows (only first failure shown):

$ nosetests tests/unittests/test_datasource/test_smartos.py
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

This is because DataSourceSmartOS.get_data() bails out if it can't find the seed (/dev/ttyS1), which obviously doesn't exist in a pbuilder chroot. The check for /dev/ttyS1 needs to be subbed out.

Thanks Scott ! This is very timely as Debian's cloud-init package just got http://bugs.debian.org/750314 filed because the package could not be rebuilt in a chroot.

Do you by chance plan an upstream release of cloud-init in the near future ? If not, I will apply revision 976 as a patch to the Debian package.

Have a nice day,

This bug was fixed in the package cloud-init - 0.7.6~bzr976-0ubuntu1

cloud-init (0.7.6~bzr976-0ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=medium

• debian/cloud-init.templates: fix choices so dpkg-reconfigure works as
  expected (LP: #1325746)
• New upstream snapshot.
  • tests: SmartOS test not depend on /dev/ttyS1 device node (LP: #1316597)
  • poll ttyS1 only after check for 'cloudsigma' in dmidecode (LP: #1316475)
  • cloudsigma: support vendor-data (LP: #1303986)
