Public bug reported: Recently autopkgtest started to consistently fail in ppc64el / s390x. When testing manually, the kernel dump is collected and all works fine. By discussing with the package maintainer (Cascardo), it seems it started after a change in the instance type of the tests, to m1.large.
This seems either a problem in the test infrastructure itself or a likely a "timing" problem in the test (i.e., requiring some pause or delay that is not currently enough). This demands investigation because those failures delay the package release for all arches, usually those releases contain important fixes. Also, the recurrent "workaround" is to mark the tests as "force-badtest" in ubuntu-hints for the 2 arches, which is in practice skipping the test, so those 2 arches are getting releases untested by the automatic infrastructure. ** Affects: makedumpfile (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Assignee: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo (cascardo) Status: Confirmed ** Affects: makedumpfile (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Medium Assignee: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo (cascardo) Status: Confirmed ** Affects: makedumpfile (Ubuntu Disco) Importance: Medium Assignee: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo (cascardo) Status: Confirmed ** Affects: makedumpfile (Ubuntu Eoan) Importance: Medium Assignee: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo (cascardo) Status: Confirmed ** Affects: makedumpfile (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Medium Assignee: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo (cascardo) Status: Confirmed ** Tags: seg ** Also affects: makedumpfile (Ubuntu Disco) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: makedumpfile (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: makedumpfile (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Medium Assignee: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo (cascardo) Status: Confirmed ** Also affects: makedumpfile (Ubuntu Eoan) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: makedumpfile (Ubuntu Eoan) Assignee: (unassigned) => Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo (cascardo) ** Changed in: makedumpfile (Ubuntu Disco) Assignee: (unassigned) => Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo (cascardo) ** Changed in: makedumpfile (Ubuntu Bionic) Assignee: (unassigned) => Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo (cascardo) ** Changed in: makedumpfile (Ubuntu Eoan) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: makedumpfile (Ubuntu Disco) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: makedumpfile (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: makedumpfile (Ubuntu Eoan) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: makedumpfile (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: makedumpfile (Ubuntu Disco) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1851663 Title: Consistent autopkgtest failures on ppc64el/s390x To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/makedumpfile/+bug/1851663/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
