Hi Krister,

I have finally seen this occur in real life with my own two eyes!

You are absolutely correct, the 4-retry doesn't seem to be sufficient sometimes.

The reproducer works on Focal and previous in about 20 minutes, so its easy to see the issue trigger on Focal. But Focal and previous doesn't retry at all.

On Jammy, Mantic and noble, it took about a week straight, but I managed to get it to trigger for each of them.

The 4-retry does help, and helps quite a lot really.

Anyway, I upgraded my test environment to the test packages, and I will leave them running for a week.

If things look good then, I'll get these patches sponsored for SRU.

Sorry for the delay, but I really wanted to see it fail on Jammy, Mantic and Noble before we go patching them.

Thanks,
Matthew
