This recently showed up often enough that I bothered to find this bug :-/ I think it degraded again into a state where we should consider:
IRC: [13:16] <cpaelzer> Was there any hope to not expect this to be a retry-monster forever? [13:17] <Laney> The desktop team should be asked if they can work on making that less flaky [13:17] <Laney> I don't think ignoring the tests there is a good answer [13:18] <Laney> Reducing the coverage would be preferable if that gets it to be more stable, for example, assuming the flakiness can't be easily fixed I have a simple test stats gatherer [1] that also shows the subtests which helps a lot in those cases to identify potential candidates to skip. I attached the output, best viewed in monospace AFAICS up until recently we had <15% on all architectures. But in Hirsute on arm* I see a bump to 22% of the subtest "uicheck-sw". Could be bad-luck / noise - but maybe it is worth considering to skip that on arm?

In the past 30 days, 8 out of 45 test runs failed. That a 18% failure rate. It would be good to understand if all those failures are similar, what's causing them, and if they can easily be made more robust.
