[pkg-go] Bug#961032: autopkgtest flaky on arm64

[Michael Biebl]

Source: prometheus
Version: 2.15.2+ds-2
Severity: serious
User: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Usertags: flaky

Hi,

the prometheus autopkgtest suite appears to be flaky on arm64. Sometimes
it succeeds, sometimes it fails. If you check the reference runs in
testing [1], it's seemingly a hit or miss.

Not sure, if this points at a real problem or not.

The problem of the flakiness though is, that a failure can be wrongly
attributed to another package, like currently systemd [2],
which as a result is blocked from entering testing:
  
  autopkgtest for prometheus/2.15.2+ds-2: amd64: Pass, arm64: Regression ♻ 

The debci maintainer recommended to file this as RC bug.
If you think this is an issue of the debci arm64 infrastructure, please
get in touch with debian-ci at lists.debian.org.

Regards,
Michael
