[Brian Murray <mp+457169@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brian Murray has proposed merging ~ubuntu-release/autopkgtest/+git/development:hide-warnings into ~ubuntu-release/autopkgtest/+git/development:master.

Requested reviews:
  Ubuntu Release Team (ubuntu-release)

We were seeing issues on arm64 test instances where tests would fail immediately after running the following commands:

112s autopkgtest [18:56:44]: ERROR: "sh -ec mkdir -p /etc/apt/preferences.d; PKGS=""; PKGS="$PKGS $(apt-cache showsrc binutils | awk '/^Package-List:/ { show=1; next } (/^ / && show==1) { print $1 ":*"; next } { show=0 }' |sort -u | tr '\n' ' ')"; printf "Package: $PKGS\nPin: release a=noble-proposed\nPin-Priority: 995\n" > /etc/apt/preferences.d/autopkgtest-noble-proposed; printf "
112s Package: *\nPin: release a=noble-updates\nPin-Priority: 990\n" >> /etc/apt/preferences.d/autopkgtest-noble-proposed; " failed with stderr "W: Target Packages (main/binary-arm64/Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:1 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources:1

The problem was that $PKGS contained warning messages and then some how this tried as a command:

binutils-aarch64-linux-gnu-dbg:*: command not found

There seems to be a problem with our images in that we have /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources which needs investigating. However, we should get arm64 (and other arches?) tests running again while we investigate the root cause of the issue.
