Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build
on amd64.


Relevant part (hopefully):
The full build log is available from:
http://qa-logs.debian.net/2025/01/24/rsyslog_8.2412.0-1_unstable.log

All bugs filed during this archive rebuild are listed at:

If you reassign this bug to another package, please mark it as 'affects'-ing
this package. See https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control#affects

If you fail to reproduce this, please provide a build log and diff it with mine
so that we can identify if something relevant changed in the meantime.

Hi Lucas

I tried to reproduce the build failure / test suite failure locally, but
failed so far.
The package itself also build rather reliably on the buildds:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=rsyslog&arch=amd64

Can you reproduce the failure in omfwd-lb-1target-retry-1_byte_buf.sh ?

Hi. I guess he does, because usually when Lucas reports something it's
because he already tried several times.

In this case, in addition to Lucas getting build failures on machines with 8 CPUs,
I'm also getting build failures (100% of the time) on machines with 1 CPU.

Usually GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nr_cpus=1" is enough to reproduce this, but if that
does not work please contact me privately and I will gladly offer a VM to reproduce.

Thanks.

Hi Michael,

As Santiago said, I retry builds before filing bugs. I double-checked,
and yes it failed twice.

However, I tried it again and now I can't reproduce it. So there's
probably something random/specific about the environment.
I'm fine with downgrading the severity, but it might be worth keeping
the bug open to state that there's something fishy.

Hi Lucas
I'll keep the bug report open but will downgrade it to avoid removal
from testing.

Closes: 1094069
Changes:
 rsyslog (8.2510.0-4) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Skip tests based on omfwd-lb-1target-retry-test_skeleton.sh and
     omfwd-lb-1target-retry-test_skeleton-TargetFail.sh.
     Those tests appear to be flaky and fail rather often on
     reproducible-builds.org, especially on arm64.
