Hello. Thank you for reporting this.

I just looked at it for a bit. The failure you're seeing results from a
test taking too long for whatever reason. On my local machine I cannot
reproduce it, unless I manually adjust the test timeout to be very
small.

The default is 30 sec:

  
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/remake/-/blob/master/tests/scripts/features/output-sync#L56

One simple "solution" is to simply bump up the timeout threshold. Since
I cannot reproduce this on my own machine (a laptop from 2013!), and it
has never come up before, I'm wondering if something about your test
setup is triggering it. The tests create small test Makefiles and
scenario files and invoke "remake" on them. This accesses files on disk.
If you're on an instance with a shared disk, could those file access be
slower than expected?

Are you able to test a bigger timeout? If not, I would appreciate access
to a machine where you're seeing the problem, so that I could create and
confirm a fix myself.

Thanks
