Package: xdg-desktop-portal
Version: 1.4.2-1
Severity: important
Tags: help

xdg-desktop-portal's build-time tests intermittently fail with an error like this:

PASS: test-doc-portal 4 /db/create_docs
Bail out! xdg-desktop-portal:ERROR:tests/test-doc-portal.c:695:test_add_named: assertion failed (error == NULL): Can't open /tmp/xdp-test-UNS23Z/doc/c8891209/add-named-1 (g-file-error-quark, 23)

This seems to be quite reproducible on salsa.debian.org CI (maybe 50%
of runs, each of which builds x-d-p three times due to reprotest). I can
reproduce it on my laptop, but only by building x-d-p 1000 times in a
loop. It isn't clear why this happens, and the way the desktop portal
gets started by GTestDBus during testing results in its log messages
being lost, so it's hard to debug.
