retitle 869318 libimage-sane-perl: FTBFS randomly: build hangs during tests tags 869318 - unreproducible thanks
Greetings. I can reproduce the random nature of this bug on START1-S instances from Scaleway (amd64). The failure rate is around 25% here. I've put a bunch of build logs here: https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/libimage-sane-perl/ (Note: Those logs use eatmydata, but I've also checked that it fails in a normal way, i.e. without eatmydata). If you need a test machine to reproduce the randomness, please contact me privately and I will gladly provide ssh access. I'm retitling the bug because it is not really architecture specific. My theory is that it's a race condition which happens easily on machines with 2 CPUs (and maybe also slower than average). Note: I know START1-S instances are discontinued but in either case the bug is in the package, not in the instances. I will try to check on the new DEV1-S instances (those also have 2 CPUs and 2 GB of RAM). Thanks.
