** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * The test overall success rate degraded over time. This happened + unrelated to a libvirt upload and affects AFAICS all Ubuntu releases. + The assumption is that some underlying changes to the LP-test- + infrastructure cause this. + It is hard to debug and so far unreproducible outside of the test + infrastructure. + + * Recently seen flaky issues + a) namespace not ready after start + + virsh lxc-enter-namespace --noseclabel sl /bin/ls /bin/ls + error: Requested operation is not valid: Init pid is not yet available + + b) service fails to restart due to dependencies + A dependency job for libvirtd.service failed. See 'journalctl -xe' + for details. + + * It only affects a subtest that is error prone (we already have Delta to + make it work at all) and not really important to us (=Ubuntu). It is + for the context of libvirt-lxc which is universe-only and unwanted as + LXD can do the same and more but better. + Due to that these test fails are a pain without much gain and shall be + converted into skippable tests. That way we retain some coverage, get a + long term info how often things will skip/work and eliminate the "retry + until success pain" + + * The known flakyness issues are converted into test-skips. Other fails + in that test will still break it. + + + [Test Case] + + * Autopkgtest runs should no more stumble over the known flaky issues as + reported above. + + [Where problems could occur] + + * The problems would occur in autopkgtest and in particular in the + subtest named smoke-lxc as that is the only test our changes affect. + + [Other Info] + + * We want to hold all these in -proposed with the block-proposed tag + This is due to - the change on it's own - being not SRU worth to + trigger downloads all around the world. + But this way it can: + a) be used in custom autopkgtest triggers if needed + b) more likely is picked up on the next upload + + + --- + https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac /autopkgtest- bionic/bionic/amd64/libv/libvirt/20200921_122304_19547@/log.gz autopkgtest [12:19:48]: test smoke-lxc: [----------------------- A dependency job for libvirtd.service failed. See 'journalctl -xe' for details. autopkgtest [12:19:48]: test smoke-lxc: -----------------------] smoke-lxc FAIL non-zero exit status 1 - The test passes for me in a local qemu VM.
