Bug Description
Currently http://
I don't know if it's related, but the docker.io tests seem to have been running over and over over the last several hours. E.g. when I got up this morning, docker.io was on running.shtml as running on amd64 for 35 mins, even though I had seen docker.io as running on amd64 on the same page when I went to bed 8 or so hours before.
That's right, the docker.io test is currently looping at least on amd64 (possibly ppc64el too), as it kills the server-side end of the ssh connection. We currently treat this as a temporary failure and restart the test then. I generally want to keep this behaviour to guard against cloud or test flakiness, but we need to dial that back a bit to not do an endless loop. Independently of that, docker.io (or whatever causes it) should be fixed to not kill sshd.
