• Bug#1099815: postgresql-17: autopkgtest fails with util-linux 2.41

    From Chris Hofstaedtler@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 8 14:20:01 2025
    Source: postgresql-17
    Version: 17.4-1
    Severity: important
    Usertags: util-linux-2.41

    Dear postgresql-17 Maintainers,

    your package has autopkgtests, great. However they fail with
    util-linux 2.41~rc2 available in experimental. I want to get
    util-linux 2.41 into trixie.

    Please investigate and fix the tests.

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    I think this is noise, sometimes the "cleanup" test is still seeing
    zombie processes that would usually be reaped the milliseconds before.

    734s # Cleanup
    735s ok 21 - Cleanup: No clusters left behind
    736s # Failed test 'No postgres processes left behind'
    736s # at t/TestLib.pm line 237.
    736s # got: 'nobody nogroup [postgres] <defunct>
    736s # '
    736s # expected: ''
    736s not ok 22 - No postgres processes left behind

    I had not really seen this on amd64 before, but some of the slower architectures have that problem from time to time. I'll update the
    test to be more forgiving there.

    For util-linux, re-running the test actually fixed the problem: https://ci.debian.net/packages/p/postgresql-17/unstable/amd64/
