[New-bugs-announce] [issue31132] test_prlimit from test_resource fails when building python3 inside systemd-nspawn environment

[Charalampos Stratakis]

New submission from Charalampos Stratakis:

FAIL: test_prlimit (test.test_resource.ResourceTest)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/builddir/build/BUILD/Python-3.6.2/Lib/test/support/__init__.py", line 556, in wrapper
    return func(*args, **kw)
  File "/builddir/build/BUILD/Python-3.6.2/Lib/test/test_resource.py", line 153, in test_prlimit
    1, resource.RLIMIT_AS)
AssertionError: PermissionError not raised by prlimit


I observed this issue when mock [0] the underlying build system we use in Fedora started using the systemd-nspawn container technology instead of chroot [1][2] in order to create a minimal build environment.
