Dear maintainer(s),
I looked at the results of the autopkgtest of you package on s390x
because it was showing up on our alert page [1]. I noticed that there
were several runs that took 27h before timing out, while successful runs
only take about 15 to 20 minutes. This is not limited to s390x, also
other architectures fail regularly. In stable, the test also fails once
in a while, but I didn't spot the timeouts there.
Because the unstable-to-testing migration software now blocks on
regressions in testing, flaky tests, i.e. tests that flip between
passing and failing without changes to the list of installed packages,
are causing people unrelated to your package to spend time on these
tests.
On top of that, when a test just hangs that's not good for our
infrastructure. I'll put gscan2pdf on our reject_list for amd64, armhf,
i386, and s390x.
Don't hesitate to reach out if you need help and some more information
from our infrastructure.
Paul
