[DRE-maint] Bug#834962: ruby-diaspora-vines: FTBFS randomly (failing tests)

[Santiago Vila]

Control: retitle -1 ruby-diaspora-vines: FTBFS randomly (failing tests)

(Retitling as I never liked the old title).

Hello.

I tried to build this several times on sid today, and I still get
build failures. I attach a recent build log.

There is something interesting in the build log:

  4) Skipped:
  Vines::Cluster::Subscriber::when receiving a stanza routed to my
node#test_0001_writes the stanza to the connected user streams
[/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/test/cluster/subscriber_test.rb:81]:
This fails randomly! Skipping it for later investigations.


It seems that the author is already aware that some of the tests are
not reliable enough and decided to disable them.

So I suggest that we just do the same in Debian for any additional
tests that we discover not being reliable enough, like the one
it's reported here.

Thanks.
