Bug Description

The Mir packaging for Ubuntu is configured to build only for an Android-based runtime. It should instead be built to detect the runtime at runtime.

This problem causes the tests run during packaging to fail, since the packaging is built on a non-Android runtime (see bug #1195265 and bug #1203004).

The production code and packaging have been fixed to remove this assumption with the help of dpkg-alternatives for the platform libraries. The tests are still built for a specific platform decided at build time.

Does that mean this bug is adequately resolved already?

well, as kdub so succinctly its sufficiently addressed except for "detecting the runtime at runtime" part is not resolved.
eg, we can't have both platforms installed and rely on some mir smarts to select the right one at runtime.
but, this becomes more of a nice to have/wishlist in that regard.

I'm not so sure that's relevant.

The tests we build for the armhf platform still build for Android only, don't they? We'd need a Mesa-based (or headless) armhf system to check if this has been resolved and that our armhf tests successfully run on a non-Android system.

It may get resolved in the same way as mir_unit_tests_mesa-kms vs mir_unit_tests_mesa-x11 with an explicit mir_unit_tests_mesa-android. I don't know...
