The "good" news is that this test failure is a real bug: running 1024 job instances of what is effectively the failing tests shows...
- 3.18 kernel: 0 job instances have incorrect size. - 3.19 kernel: 848 job instances have the **incorrect** size (!!) Figures are from a fully-updated amd64 vivid system booted to use Upstart and simply toggling the kernel being used. I've tried to recreate the failure using script(1) and dd(1), but so far this has proven unsuccessful. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to upstart in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1429756 Title: FTBFS: test_job_process fails in majority of cases Status in upstart package in Ubuntu: New Status in upstart source package in Vivid: New Bug description: As you see in the history in https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/vivid- adt-upstart/?, upstart's test fail almost all the time, on ok 53 - with single line command writing fast and exiting not ok 54 - with single line command writing lots of data fast and exiting wrong value for bytes, expected 3145728 got 3018027 at tests/test_job_process.c:3886 (test_start). 1..153 FAIL: test_job_process Sometimes they succeed on one architecture, and with lots of luck on both, but this is way too flaky to be an useful test. This keeps blocking the propagation of other packages from -proposed. This was most likely triggered by the kernel update from 3.18 to 3.19.
