Merge ~dbungert/britney/+git/hints-ubuntu:snapd-skiptest into ~ubuntu-release/britney/+git/hints-ubuntu:devel

[Dan Bungert]

skiptest squashfs-tools, linux-meta-{azure,oracle}

Snapd regressions in tests triggered by these packages can be attributed to
problems loading libgcc_s. Fix pending on snapd and allowing these through
does not make the situation worse.

[Alex Murray (alexmurray)]

Shouldn't this be against snapd? ie

force-skiptest snapd/2.51.1+21.10

ie we want britney to ignore the failing snapd test? Since the squashfs-tools and linux-meta-{azure|oracle} tests pass themselves.

Not based off the conversation in #ubuntu-release.

skiptest is only appropriate to use when all of the failures of tests triggered by the named package are correct to skip. squashfs-tools shows only snapd as a failing test, but linux-meta-oracle shows:

autopkgtest for backport-iwlwifi-dkms/unknown: arm64: Regression ♻
autopkgtest for jool/unknown: arm64: Regression ♻
autopkgtest for snapd/2.51.1+21.10: amd64: Regression ♻ , arm64: Not a regression

and linux-meta-azure shows:

autopkgtest for snapd/2.51.1+21.10: amd64: Regression ♻
autopkgtest for systemd/248.3-1ubuntu3: amd64: Regression ♻

Can you clarify if these failures are all correct to ignore, and why?

review: Needs Information

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

ok I was looking at a stale report.

review: Approve

[Dan Bungert (dbungert)]

l-m-azure still shows for systemd, so I should remove that part

linux-meta-azure (5.11.0.1013.14+21.10.1 to 5.13.0.1004.5)
Migration status for linux-meta-azure (5.11.0.1013.14+21.10.1 to 5.13.0.1004.5): BLOCKED: Rejected/violates migration policy/introduces a regression
Issues preventing migration:
autopkgtest for snapd/2.51.1+21.10: amd64: Regression ♻
autopkgtest for systemd/248.3-1ubuntu3: amd64: Regression ♻

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Well this got merged and linux-meta-azure migrated so I don't think anything else is required here.
