Well, indeed that seems kind of infra related, but not as in "specific to the infra". The good thing is that is reproduces locally quite easily (from the libwww-mechanize-perl sources):
autopkgtest . --env=http_proxy='http://squid.internal:3128' -- qemu autopkgtest-oracular-amd64.img For that to "work" and reproduce the issue, you need to have the Canonical VPN set up, so that `squid.internal` works correctly. You'll see that setting `http_proxy` to a non-working proxy doesn't work, because `apt` can't install anything and the testbed cannot be initialized. I guess setting up a local proxy with proper configuration could also do the trick. The interesting part, is that it reproduces with a local build of the package, like above, but not when the package comes from the archive itself. This passes successfully without trouble: autopkgtest libwww-mechanize-perl --env=http_proxy='http://squid.internal:3128' -- qemu autopkgtest- oracular-amd64.img This makes me think that the issue actually lies within autopkgtest itself. I've reproduced the issue on both the plucky version of autopkgtest (5.38ubuntu1) and on master (very close to 5.42). I'll set this bug as also affecting autopkgtest so that we have it on our radar too. ** Also affects: autopkgtest (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: autopkgtest (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Debian Perl Group, which is subscribed to libwww-mechanize-perl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2025645 Title: t/local/referer.t blocking forever during autopkgtests To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autopkgtest/+bug/2025645/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~pkg-perl-maintainers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~pkg-perl-maintainers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
