Bug#920546: dolfin: flaky autopkgtest as it times out sometimes

Sat Jan 26 19:41:19 GMT 2019

Source: dolfin
Version: 2018.1.0.post1-13
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
User: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Usertags: flaky timeout

Dear maintainers,

Since you uploaded your package version 2018.1.0.post1-13, it has failed
several times on your test-dolfin-cpp test on the ci.debian.net
infrastructure due to timeouts of autopkgtest (after 10000 seconds).
Could you please investigate and make your autopkgtest more robust
against this time out? Please contact me if you need help and you think
I can provide that (I am not subscribed to this bug).

Recent discussion of gating migration by autopkgtests on debian-devel
[1] noted that if this is going to work, and in particular now we are
*blocking* migration when it causes autopkgtest regressions,
intermittent autopkgtest failures are likely to have to be considered RC
due to their impact on the tested package's dependencies; for now I've
filed it as important. I noticed this issue because the dolfin
regression was blocking pkg-config.

Paul
