[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1005889: dbus: flaky autopkgtest on ppc64el: dbus/integration/transient-services.sh.test

[Paul Gevers]

Source: dbus
Version: 1.12.20-3
Severity: serious
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-ci at lists.debian.org

Usertags: flaky

Dear maintainer(s),

I looked at the results of the autopkgtest of you package on ppc64el 
because it was showing up as a regression for the upload of glibc. I 
noticed that the test regularly fails since the beginning of February 
this year. The failure is always the same (so far), and it happens on 
multiple of our hosts.

Because the unstable-to-testing migration software now blocks on
regressions in testing, flaky tests, i.e. tests that flip between
passing and failing without changes to the list of installed packages,
are causing people unrelated to your package to spend time on these
tests.

Don't hesitate to reach out if you need help and some more information
from our infrastructure.

Paul
