Bug#954197: gegl: FTBFS (most often on arm64, armhf): gegl:simple / backend-file times out

[Simon McVittie]

Source: gegl
Version: 0.4.18-1
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
Forwarded: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gegl/issues/226
Control: block 951821 by -1

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=gegl&arch=arm64&ver=0.4.22-2&stamp=1584481529&raw=0
>   1/104 gegl:simple / backend-file              TIMEOUT 300.01 s

It isn't trivial to correlate the test's output with which one it is
(this is a legacy test using unstructured output and no particular testing
framework, and I should have made d/rules cat meson-logs/testlog.txt but
didn't), but I don't think it produced any, which means a fairly trivial
GEGL test didn't make any useful progress on these buildds.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gegl/issues/226 appears to be the same thing
on x86_64. I suspect it might be a race condition or otherwise
intermittent: in the past this test also timed out on armel, but my recent
upload worked fine on armel. Perhaps there is something about the ARM
family of architectures that makes this more likely to happen there.
