retitle 1031060 knewstuff: FTBFS: flaky test "knewstuff-installationtest"
severity 1031060 serious
tags 1031060 patch
thanks
Hello.
I'm raising this to serious because it's a violation of Policy 4.2,
which is a must directive, because I'm providing a trivial patch
which disables the flaky test, and because it happened in the buildds:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=knewstuff&arch=arm64&ver=5.94.0-1&stamp=1653505329&raw=0
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=knewstuff&arch=armel&ver=5.100.0-1&stamp=1669024912&raw=0
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=knewstuff&arch=armhf&ver=5.98.0-1&stamp=1663697979&raw=0
I've also put a recent build log here so that you can check
that the issue is not fixed in the current version:
https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/202503/
Ideally, we would forward this upstream and wait for a reply,
but this has not happened in two years, so I suggest we concentrate
on fixing the FTBFS problem in Debian.
Cc: to all known uploaders. I think at least Aurélien is around
and maybe he can upload a fix.
Thanks.
