Why I did it

The libnl3 package tests fail in container build environments due to network namespace permission/capability limitations. The test failure occurs in tests/nl-test-util.c with the error: Assertion 'r == 0' failed: r == -10, 0 == 0.

This blocks the SONiC image build process, preventing the FRR package (with 62 bug fix patches) from being built.

How I did it

Added DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck and -Pnocheck to the dpkg-buildpackage command for non-cross builds, mirroring the existing behavior for cross builds which already skip tests with -Pcross,nocheck.

How to verify it

  1. Run the SONiC VS image build: make SONIC_BUILD_JOBS=4 target/sonic-vs.img.gz
  2. Verify the libnl3 package builds successfully without test failures
  3. Verify dependent packages (including FRR) build correctly

Human Review Checklist

  • Verify that skipping libnl3 tests is acceptable (note: cross builds already skip tests)
  • Consider if container environment should be fixed instead of skipping tests
  • Confirm no regressions in libnl3 functionality

Requested by: Arthur Poon (arthur.poon@cognition.ai) / @arthurkkp-cog

The libnl3 tests fail in container environments due to network namespace
permission/capability limitations. This change adds DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck
and -Pnocheck to the dpkg-buildpackage command for non-cross builds, similar
to how cross builds already skip tests.

This fix is necessary to build the SONiC image with the FRR bug fix patches
applied. The FRR package (frr_10.3-sonic-0_amd64.deb) with all 62 patches
was successfully built after this change.
