Control: tag -1 pending Hello,
Bug #984966 in apt reported by you has been fixed in the Git repository and is awaiting an upload. You can see the commit message below and you can check the diff of the fix at: https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/commit/0d25ce3d466ecddea02d171981f011f7dbf95e08 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Harden test for no new acquires after transaction abort If a transaction is doomed we want to gracefully shutdown our zoo of worker processes. As explained in the referenced commit we do this by stopping the main process from handing out new work and ignoring the replies it gets from the workers, so that they eventually run out of work. We tested this previously by checking if a rred worker was given work items at all, but depending on how lucky the stars of the machine working on this are the worker would have already gotten work before the transaction was aborted – so we tried this 25 times a row (f35601e5d2). No machine can be this lucky, right? Turns out the autopkgtest armhf machine is very lucky. I feel a bit sorry for feeding grep such a long "line" to work with, but it seems to work out. Porterbox amdahl (who is considerably less lucky; had to turn down to 1 try to get it to fail sometimes) is now happily running the test in an endless loop. Of course, I could have broken the test now, but its still a rather generic grep (in some ways more generic even) and the main part of the testcase – the update process finishes and fails – is untouched.
