glib2.0/i386 was pretty consistently failing for me. It looks like the new version in unstable is better (https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac /autopkgtest-eoan-laney- ppa/eoan/i386/g/glib2.0/20191216_173854_41ef9@/log.gz), so I'm uploading that as a new backport to replace the SRU currently in eoan-proposed.
** Description changed: [ Description ] I'm creating this bug report to have a place to describe the proposed - backport of glib2.0 2.62.2-2 from focal. + backport of glib2.0 2.62.3-2 from focal. - The main purpose of this backport (as opposed to -1) is to fix bug - #1844853. + One purpose of this backport is to fix bug #1844853. - But there are several other changes. There are many cherry-picks to - improve the testsuite's reliability. At the time of upload they weren't - in the stable branch, but now they almost all are. These commits can be - considered to be tested under - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME + But there are several other changes.
