Hi This situation seems to get worse with each new version of nodejs.
In Ubuntu, where autopkgtests are run for every release architecture, node-liftoff failed on armhf [1] and arm64 [2] since the upload of nodejs 8.9.3. We resorted to increasing the timeout from 5000 to 10000 in debian/rules and debian/tests/control to allow nodejs to migrate. Chris, you wrote "...the test would still be unreliable whatever value you choose", can you propose something other than increasing the timeout? Regards Graham [1] http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/node-liftoff/bionic/armhf [2] http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/node-liftoff/bionic/arm64
