Bug#925985: jsurf-alggeo: flaky autopkgtest: stopDrawingShouldInterruptRendering(TestJSurf)

[Paul Gevers]

Source: jsurf-alggeo
Version: 0.4.1+ds-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, sometimes it fails in
unstable and testing, while a retry not much later succeeds. 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 this
particular test as "flaky".

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. For the
failures I inspected the failure always seems to be on the same place.
