Comment 2 for bug 1312621

IIRC, the second failure mode will happen if the tests are repetitively run on a deployed engine. In this case, every other test run should see this failure. What happens is when we reserve and release ppa's, the ppa's in the pool are listed based on the timestamps and the first one to get reserved in the first run gets released as the second one to to the pool. So the ppa for 'next' would alternate if we run the tests repetitively.

IMHO, we probably need to find a logic to suite both cases (run once and run repetitively) or the test needs to be taken out.

PS. If this is happening during every runs as opposed to every other runs, then my theory is wrong and apologies for the noise.
