The best way to go about doing this is +by first downloading the queues.json: + +``wget https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/queues.json`` + +Then, you can filter the json file like so, with jq: + +``jq '.huge.noble.amd64' queues.json | awk {'print $2'} | sort | uniq -c | less`` + +And what this does, is filter the queue, and returns a list of all the unique +packages currently queued, with a count of how many queue items per package, +and pipes it to less. You can then check this output, and look for obsoleted +package versions, e.g.: + +.. code-block:: + + 117 [\"dpkg/1.22.6ubuntu2\"], + 117 [\"dpkg/1.22.6ubuntu4\"], + +Here, you can see that ``dpkg/1.22.6ubuntu2`` has been obsoleted by ``dpkg/1.22.6ubuntu4``. +So, the workflow now would be to remove said package from the queue:: + +.. code-block:: + + ./filter-amqp -v amqp://autopkgtest-worker:passwd@ip debci-huge-noble-$arch "dpkg/1.22.6ubuntu2\b + +However, this gets tedious with lots of obsoleted packages in the queue. So an approach, +when you have lots of obsoleted packages, would be like so: + +.. code-block:: + packages="package1/trigger-2.3.0 package2/trigger-2.4.3..." # obviously with more packages + for pkg in $packages; do for arch in "amd64 arm64 s390x ppc64el armhf i386" do; ./filter-amqp -v amqp://autopkgtest-worker:passwd@ip debci-huge-noble-$arch "dpkg/1.22.6ubuntu2\b; done; done + +This way you can remove all the packages in one command on every architecture.
