[Debian GNUstep maintainers] Bug#1025227: agenda.app: flaky autopkgtest: seems to mix up dates with large timezone offsets

[Paul Gevers]

Source: agenda.app
Version: 0.46-2
Severity: serious
User: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Usertags: flaky

Dear maintainer(s),

I looked at the results of the autopkgtest of your package. I noticed 
that it regularly fails. It seems that the DateTime test fails if the 
date from date/time + timezone yields a different date than date/time 
alone. (But I could be misinterpreting the logs).

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 causing people unrelated to your package to spend time on these
tests.

Don't hesitate to reach out if you need help and some more information
from our infrastructure.

Paul
