A test of Focal's glibc SRU in Bileto shows that those issues did not go away. The glibc package itself is not expected to cause regression, this was just a run to confirm that. The test resuts are shown here: https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_39a8dbb93caf4ec889f8a1b7f69885db/bileto-4017-excuses/2021-03-20_09:25:01/4017_focal_excuses.html Out of the 114 failed tests 58 containst the 'Connection timed out' string and only test logs from armhf contain that string: $ zgrep -l 'Connection timed out' ~/.cache/ubuntu-archive-tools/focal_*.gz
