[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#947006: libvirt: autopkgtest always fails and now started to time out regularly

[Paul Gevers]

Source: libvirt
Version: 5.6.0-3
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Severity: serious
User: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Usertags: timeout flaky

Dear maintainers,

Your package has an autopkgtest, great. However, I noticed that it
always fails, which nowadays is considered RC. However, on top of that,
with version 5.6.0-3 your package started to time out regularly on
ci.debian.net (after 2:50 h).

I wonder if the smoke-lxc test is suitable to test *inside* an lxc as
your using virsh. I am not enough into this, but it smells a bit like
you want an "isolation-machine" restriction for that test.

Can you please investigate the situation? Don't hesitate to ask for help
from the Debian CI team (in X-Debbugs-CC) if you need help solving this
issue.

To avoid wasting lots of time on the ci.debian.net infrastructure, I
have blacklisted your package. If needed, please ping me to try any
uploads you make that should fix the issue if you are unsure and don't
want to close this bug until verified.

Paul
