[Debian-ha-maintainers] Bug#942334: cluster-glue: flaky autopkgtest: test logd

Source: cluster-glue

Severity: serious

Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of openssl to the security archive for stable the
autopkgtest of cluster-glue failed in stable when that autopkgtest was
run with the binary packages of openssl from proposed-updates. However,
when the test was retried, the test passed. I looked into the history of
your autopkgtest and it fails occasionally (albeit the latest one isn't
your packages fault).

Because uploads to proposed-updates are monitored for regressions (and
unstable-to-testing migration software now blocks on regressions in
testing), flaky tests, i.e. tests that flip between passing and failing
without changes to the list of installed packages, are causing people
unrelated to your package to spend time on these tests. Please either
fix the test to be more robust, or or use the "flaky" restriction for
the offending test until a solution has been found.

I copied the output at the bottom of this report.

I'll have the migration software ignore the results of your autopkgtest
until this bug is fixed.

Paul
