There have been several updates on the upstream bug, so I have opened a task for jammy.
** Also affects: systemd via https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/25091 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Also affects: systemd (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1992178 Title: autopkgtest: upstream tests that run in qemu hang on ppc64el Status in systemd: Unknown Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in systemd source package in Jammy: New Bug description: I believe this started early in the kinetic cycle, cf. https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/systemd/kinetic/ppc64el vs https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/systemd/jammy/ppc64el. Timeouts in the upstream tests have been an issue for a while, but kinetic on ppc64el consistently times out with upstream tests that run in QEMU. Skipping individual tests does not help, because *which* tests time out appears to change with each build. For example, in 251.4-1ubuntu4 the TEST-36-NUMAPOLICY test was consistently the culprit, but now in 251.4-1ubuntu6 the TEST-14-MACHINE-ID often times out. I have not been able to identify a root cause for this, but it seems that running tests in QEMU is very fragile on ppc64el, where as the tests that run in nspawn are more consistent.
