Well, indeed that seems kind of infra related, but not as in "specific to the infra". The good thing is that is reproduces locally quite easily (from the libwww-mechanize-perl sources):
autopkgtest . --env=http_proxy='http://squid.internal:3128' -- qemu autopkgtest-oracular-amd64.img For that to "work" and reproduce the issue, you need to have the Canonical VPN set up, so that `squid.internal` works correctly. You'll see that setting `http_proxy` to a non-working proxy doesn't work, because `apt` can't install anything and the testbed cannot be initialized. I guess setting up a local proxy with proper configuration could also do the trick. The interesting part, is that it reproduces with a local build of the package, like above, but not when the package comes from the archive itself. This passes successfully without trouble: autopkgtest libwww-mechanize-perl --env=http_proxy='http://squid.internal:3128' -- qemu autopkgtest- oracular-amd64.img This makes me think that the issue actually lies within autopkgtest itself. I've reproduced the issue on both the plucky version of autopkgtest (5.38ubuntu1) and on master (very close to 5.42). I'll set this bug as also affecting autopkgtest so that we have it on our radar too. ** Also affects: autopkgtest (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: autopkgtest (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Canonical's Ubuntu QA, which is subscribed to autopkgtest in Ubuntu.

There is a similar problem reported upstream a few years ago but I'm not sure they are related. I added more details to it https://github.com/libwww-perl/WWW-Mechanize/issues/281 referer.t will start a local webserver implemented in t/local/referer- server. Each test will call the webserver and stop it by calling GET /quit-server in the last test. Although, in the end, referer.t blocks on wait(referer-server), supposedly after calling close(), but referer-server is blocked on accept(). These tests will just work locally and are not blocking on Debian.
