Comment 1 for bug 828664

@James ubuntu:jenkins is now up to date (checked by branching it which implicitly checks against publication) - thanks for the report and sorry for the disruption.

I'm attaching the log which shows the failure is

136.161 Committed revid <email address hidden> as revno 2.
137.614 Marking version 1.409.1-0ubuntu1 in oneiric at revid <email address hidden>
141.324 refresh_possible_transports dropping stale transport <bzrlib.transport.remote.RemoteSSHTransport url=bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/oneiric/jenkins/oneiric/> ([Errno 32] Broken pipe)
141.324 refresh_possible_transports encountered a smart transport with outstanding request: <bzrlib.transport.remote.RemoteSSHTransport url=bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/debian/woody/jenkins/woody/>
... and on and on.

So I think the bug is: launchpad dropped the connection (or maybe the network glitched or something else.) What the udd importer should have done is probably stop at that point and treat it as a transient failure. What did happen is that it kept trying to use the dead ssh connection and tied itself in knots - there is possibly also a bzr bug there that it didn't try to reconnect. (cf bug 819604 and friends).

So, though the immediate thing is fixed by retrying I'll leave this open for that bug.
