2021-09-08 07:16:49 Christian Ehrhardt  description dpkg's autopkgtest on ppc64el has regressed in release [1]. This currently blocks pexpect/8.0-2ubuntu1 from migrating to -release. [1] https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/dpdk/impish/ppc64el [Impact] * Some tests (just a small portion of a vast list of tests) is not really breaking due to real issues but just happen to be notorious timeouts or flaky in the Ubuntu build&test environment. * We have fixed that in Debian and Impish already, but the same behavior now also affects the MRE of 20.11.3 therefore backport the same test improvements to Hirsute. [Test Plan] * Build time and autopkgtests are supposed to work (they are anyway for an SRU, but for this fix this is exactly the test that we want/need to do) [Where problems could occur] * If the patches would be wrong they could have broken the tests, but that would then just not build and thereby not migrate. OTOH there is theoretical chance that the few disabled tests would have catched something down the road which they now no more do - but that isn't that much of a regression, more a trade-off that we want to make. [Other Info] * This initially only affected impish, but later it was found that Hirsute is affected as well. Therefore on this MRE we want to improve it here as well. * To be clear this really is flaky, we could have just hit retry a few times and get through without - but I think we agree that flaky tests are not really helpful and can cause a lot of pain. --- dpkg's autopkgtest on ppc64el has regressed in release [1].
