I looked at the results of the autopkgtest of your package. I noticed that it regularly fails s390x and seems to fail everywhere once in a while.
I had a further look today to try and spot a pattern, but really, all the logs I check failed at a different test. And it looks like it behaves "weird" before the time out. I.e. it's reporting a lot of lines like:
Executing: snapd-glib/test-glib.test which from my reading of [1] is printed when the test is idle.I had the idea that maybe this was due to race conditions between different tests, but from [2] I gathered that the default is no parallelism, and I couldn't spot it being changed.
Therefore I conclude that without the root cause found (I suspect in gnome-desktop-testing-runner), it's better to either disable the autopkgtest, or mark it as flaky. An alternative could be to disable the test-glib and test-qt tests, as they seem to always be involved. I'm not sure if the rest is worth it and/or more than superficial.
