Christian raised this with us just now - I think we should consider taking a look at this.
Looking at http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/libreoffice/hirsute/arm64 http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/libreoffice/hirsute/armhf the tests are basically OK but one of the uicheck-* ones ends up timing out often enough that it can be described as flaky. When this happens it causes a problem for other migrations, doubly so as the runs take many hours to complete whether they fail or not, which slows down migration speed. If it's not possible to fix the timeouts (feels like it might be hard or take a while) then disabling these subtests (only) on arm would be an option - stable tests with less coverage are better than flaky ones with more. We had https://git.launchpad.net/~libreoffice/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/commit/?id=baf5a581da7ce3bb27a5b8ed44fadeb6e245e1ff in the past which might be a basis for what to do now, but that would want to be extended to arm64 too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1785262 Title: arm64 autopkgtests are flaky Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: See http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/libreoffice/cosmic/arm64. In the past 30 days, 8 out of 45 test runs failed. That a 18% failure rate. It would be good to understand if all those failures are similar, what's causing them, and if they can easily be made more robust.
