Thanks for the bug reference - I had an unconfirmed theory that the test was deadlocking somewhere! I think Heather mentioned seeing this in other tests too - it would be good to grep the failing logs to see... seems like the string when it starts a test doesn't contain a \n, so it looks like: test_21_.uno:EditGlossary (openDialogs.openDialogs) ... autopkgtest [22:36:52]: ERROR: timed out on command "... If it's only this one, or only a small number of tests which can hang (on slow / loaded machines particularly it seems) always, then skipping those few would be a reasonable solution, indeed. But if this can apply to any of the uicheck tests, then I think I'm still in favour of using timeout(1) to paper over the deadlock, by setting our own timeout, lower than the autopkgtest one, and skipping if we hit it.
