Bug Description

It would be good to store the location of the SUDO_ASKPASS script on the testbed, so that specific commands can be run as root even though the rest of the test is running as the user.

The whole sudo handling could probably be generalized to all virt runners at some point, but for now this works with the ssh runner. Tests can now just do "sudo -A". But note that it's not always a given that sudo is available, so either test [ -n $SUDO_ASKPASS ] or be prepared that sudo -A fails, and skip tests accordingly.

This bug was fixed in the package autopkgtest - 3.12

---------------
autopkgtest (3.12) unstable; urgency=medium

  * ssh-setup/adb: Re-enable ssh after reboot, in case an upgrade disables it.
  * ssh-setup/adb: Try to create /userdata/.adb_onlock, to get adb after
    rebooting without human interaction.
  * Fix apt-get install --simulate version parsing with third-party sources.
    (LP: #1430017)
  * ssh-setup-nova: Add --security-groups option. (LP: #1429862)
  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Avoid non-blocking reads from the socket in
    verbose mode, this sometimes causes hangs. Go back to blocking reads, but
    don't wait between them.
  * Fix UnicodeDecodeError on .deb package name reading. (LP: #1430773)
  * adt-virt-ssh: Export $SUDO_ASKPASS to tests if sudo is available.
