Public bug reported:
The autopkgtests are sometimes passing, sometimes stuck for more than 2h:
http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/apport/cosmic/amd64.
It's blocking randomly on different tests.
All tests that are stucked, implements closing a request via a timeout
(and then, executing "run"). The bet is that the timeout is short enough
(1s) so that, when autopkgtests infra is busy, time to execute the bash
subcommand is taking more than a second, and so "dismissing" is ran
before execution happens and the whole testsuite hangs.
There are few instances of setting this timeout function:
$ grep eout_add_sec test/*
test/test_ui_gtk.py: GLib.timeout_add_seconds(1, cont)
test/test_ui_gtk.py: GLib.timeout_add_seconds(1, cont)
test/test_ui_gtk.py: GLib.timeout_add_seconds(1, cont)
test/test_ui_gtk.py: GLib.timeout_add_seconds(1, c)
test/test_ui_gtk.py: GLib.timeout_add_seconds(1, c)
Short term solution could be to increase the timeout. Long term would be
to eliminate this potential race implementing cancelling differently.
