Hi,

I've finally updated dogtag-pki to fix some grave bugs, but this still 
remains. I don't know if the update fixes these racy tests (which they 
are, something goes wrong and it gets stuck), but is there a way for me 
to manually trigger them on ci.debian.net? They do pass on salsa-ci, but 
it's not the same thing..
