Bug#927761: fclib: flaky autopkgtest: Segmentation fault

[Paul Gevers]

Source: fclib
Version: 3.0.0+dfsg-2
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
User: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Usertags: flaky

Dear maintainers,

Your package has an autopkgtest, great. However, it fails once in a
while in unstable and testing. Because the 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 wasting peoples time. Please either fix the test
to be more robust, or mark the particular test as "flaky".

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. The failures
that I inspected seem to always be the same.

Paul
