[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1109990: upower: flaky autopkgtest: Test timed out after 300 seconds

[Paul Gevers]

Source: upower
Version: 1.90.9-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Usertags: flaky

Dear maintainer(s),

I looked at the results of the autopkgtest of your package because it 
shows up in the autopkgtest regression list for glibc. I noticed that it 
regularly fails, particularly but not exclusively on armel and armhf. I 
suspect the built-in timeout isn't long enough for our infrastructure 
where the hosts typically run multiple tests in parallel.

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.

Release Team member hat on: given we're only two weeks away from the 
release, fixing this issue can wait until after the trixie release.

Paul
