Source: auto-multiple-choice Version: 1.6.0-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
While staring at the ongoing perl 5.40 transition, we noted that on rare occasions[1], the debian/test/gui autopkgtest script could fail, presumably with the Xfvb server not having finished to start up yet when the command to be tested attempts to spawn a gui, resulting in: 1121s autopkgtest [02:03:09]: test gui: [----------------------- 1123s 1123s (auto-multiple-choice:8108): Gtk-WARNING **: 02:03:11.073: cannot open display: :5 1123s autopkgtest [02:03:11]: test gui: -----------------------] 1123s gui FAIL non-zero exit status 1 [1]: https://ci.debian.net/packages/a/auto-multiple-choice/testing/armhf/53379341/ gregoa suggests replacing the use of bare Xvfb by the xvfb-run wrapper which, I agree, would make the handling of the virtual X server easier to script. Other options could be to explicitly sleep a few seconds or pool for the :5 to make sure it is availble before starting the test, at your preference. Have a nice day, :) -- .''`.
