Bug#1103406: ogdi-dfsg: flaky autopkgtest on arm64

[Paul Gevers]

Source: ogdi-dfsg
Version: 4.1.1+ds-5
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 on arm64, while other architectures seem fine. 
Unfortunately, the test doesn't produce any output, so I can't give any 
advice on the failure based on that. I noticed that this test downloads 
some data from the internet, maybe adding a timeout to wget and some 
debugging info might help identify problems related to that. Maybe 
having a retry in case of network issues might be prudent. The arm64 
ci.d.n hosts are located in China (as are the loong64 and riscv64 hosts, 
which don't seem to suffer (or less)).

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
