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.

In the past 30 days, 8 out of 45 test runs failed. That a 18% failure rate. It would be good to understand if all those failures are similar, what's causing them, and if they can easily be made more robust.
