[scope] for systemd, this is needed for x, b, and f. tests in g appear to be mostly stable, but I've opened MR (linked from this bug) to update the tests there as well. i don't plan to update x, as it's reaching ESM in ~6 months, and backporting the test fixes is more work than just a simple code copy, since there are additional differences/changes needed in the older version of systemd (and python3). the failing/flaky tests in x have been like that forever, and people have just retried them; we can keep retrying them until x moves into ESM next year. [original description] Hi, we had such cases in the past like bug 1817721 for bionic and maybe bug 1892130 is about the same as well. There were more but I didn't want to search for all of them - what I checked is that there are no open ones clearly pointing out the recent further drop in already flaky subtests. In particular the tests "tests-in-lxd" and "systemd-fsckd" were known to be flaky before, but got even worse. Here stats of the last 40 runs, it might be a coincidences that this is after 246-2ubuntu1 landed. Could as well be any other change groovy amd64 tests-in-lxd (F 42% S 0% B 10% => P 45%/) FFFFBFFFFFFFB....FF.B.....F.....F...FBF build-login (F 0% S 0% B 10% => P 87%/) ....B.......B.......B................B. unit-config (F 0% S 0% B 10% => P 87%/) ....B.......B.......B................B. networkd-testpy (F 0% S 0% B 10% => P 87%/) ....B.......B.......B................B. boot-and-services (F 0% S 0% B 10% => P 87%/) ....B.......B.......B................B. boot-smoke (F 0% S 0% B 10% => P 87%/) ....B.......B.......B................B. logind (F 0% S 0% B 10% => P 87%/) ....B.......B.......B................B. storage (F 0% S 0% B 10% => P 87%/) ....B.......B.......B................B. upstream (F 35% S 0% B 10% => P 52%/) ..FFB.FFF.FFB....FF.B.....F.F..F....FBF udev (F 0% S 0% B 10% => P 87%/) ....B.......B.......B................B. systemd-fsckd (F 37% S 0% B 10% => P 50%/) FFFFBFFFFFFFB.FF...FB.....F..........B. root-unittests (F 0% S 0% B 10% => P 87%/) ....B.......B.......B................B. ppc64el tests-in-lxd (F 25% S 0% B 0% => P 75%/) FFFF....FF............FFF.....F......... systemd-fsckd (F 35% S 0% B 0% => P 65%/) FFFFFFF...FF........F....FF.F..F........ root-unittests (F 2% S 0% B 0% => P 97%/) ..............................F......... s390x tests-in-lxd (F 52% S 0% B 0% => P 47%/) FFFFFFF.FFFFFFF.FF.........FFFF...F..... timedated (F 2% S 0% B 0% => P 97%/) ...........F............................ upstream (F 17% S 0% B 0% => P 82%/) .....F......F.F.............FFF...F..... systemd-fsckd (F 32% S 0% B 0% => P 67%/) FFFFFFF..FF..F.................FF..F.... root-unittests (F 10% S 0% B 0% => P 90%/) ............................FFF...F..... arm64 tests-in-lxd (F 40% S 0% B 2% => P 57%/) FFFFF.B...FFF.FF..F..F.........FFF.F.... logind (F 2% S 0% B 2% => P 95%/) ......B...................F............. upstream (F 22% S 0% B 2% => P 75%/) ...F.FB.....F.F.............F..FFF.F.... root-unittests (F 12% S 0% B 2% => P 85%/) ......B.F...........F.F........F...F.... (I'm sure LP will make this unreadable, but is is nice in monospace) Whatever the root cause is - the success rate of these has reduced so much that the (even formerly questionable) practice of retry-until- success won't work anymore. I have run the two tests in a local VM and systemd-fsckd works there while tests-in-lxd seems to trip over the old flaky fellow being "boot-and-services". We had the discussion in the past, but I think I need to again bring up the suggestion to skip "tests-in-lxd" and "systemd-fsckd" until they are on reasonable success rates.
