[DRE-maint] Bug#953943: chake: autopkgtest failure: times out infinite loop: Depends: chef-zero (>= 13) but it is not going to be installed

[Paul Gevers]

Source: chake
Version: 0.20-1
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Severity: serious
User: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Usertags: regression timeout

Dear maintainers,

The autopkgtest of your package recently started to time out after 2:47
hours. I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. Your
test fails to install a package and tries over and over and over and
over and over ..... again.

Please fix your test to stop trying at some point.

These kind of timeouts are bad for our infrastructure. I'll add your
package to our ignore-list.

Paul
