[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#901170: ostree: flaky autopkgtest

[Paul Gevers]

Source: ostree
Version: 2018.5-1
Severity: important
User: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Usertags: flaky

While inspecting regressions in autopkgtest results¹, I noticed that
your package ostree version 2018.5-1 failed twice²³ with a spurious error:
error: opendir(staging-966866a4-cd46-45f4-b642-013c2b097a53-5prA5F): No
such file or directory
or
error: opendir(staging-10828279-c222-4a21-aeea-fce753e7bbd3-lBM3P5): No
such file or directory
The last one was delaying the migration of gnupg2.

Could you please investigate and make your autopkgtest more robust?
Please contact me if you need help and you think I can provide that (I
am not subscribed to this bug).

Recent discussion of gating migration by autopkgtests on debian-devel⁴
noted that if this is going to work, and in particular if we are going
to *block* migration when it causes autopkgtest regressions rather than
merely delaying it, intermittent autopkgtest failures are likely to have
to be considered RC due to their impact on the tested package's
dependencies; for now I've filed it as important.
