Hi terceiro and elbrus,

After the release of trixie, we have uploaded curl 8.15.0 to unstable
but it's failing to migrate to testing [1] because
prometheus-mysqlrouter-exporter/6.0.0-5 autopkgtests fails with 8.15.0
[2] and passes with 8.14.1 (the one in testing) [3]. Taking a closer
look, I realized the problem is a bit more complicated than a failed
test. The tldr of it is:

The long story is prometheus-mysqlrouter-exporter's autopkgtests were
failing because mysql-server and mysql-router aren't available in
testing. Elbrus filled a bug for that (#1108802) and it was fixed by
adding "skip-not-installable restriction to getrouterinfo to prevent
break in testing and stable where mysql-server and mysql-router are
unavailable".

That's fine, the autopkgtest fails, but succeeds :-) and we move on. The
problem happens when the regression testing kicks in to check if adding
only curl from unstable breaks prometheus-mysqlrouter-exporter's
autopkgtests. In doing that, unstable is added and curl is pinned to
unstable, that's also fine and expected. But somehow (maybe we need to
set unstable's preference to -1?) mysql-router and mysql-router are also
picked from the unstable feed [4]. So basically we have the reference and
the regression testing doing two extremely different things.

Only for amd64, the exporter does not seems to be ready in the 60
seconds sleep and doesn't return data so the test fails. Since it passed
on all other arches, we don't think is a curl problem, but I'm reporting
it because of the conceptual problem in the previous paragraph.

Cheers,
Charles

Hi,

[Leaving all original text for prometheus-mysqlrouter-exporter maintainers]


If infrastructure related, it's bin:autopkgtest and not src:debci.


That's indeed a consequence of using skip-not-installable.


and arm64 in unstable (often?) too.


I regret that I ever invented skip-not-installable, because the current
situation is one result of it.

Paul

Hi Paul,

Sorry for the late response.

Ack.

So, shouldn't we pin the unstable as -1 and only pin the package that
triggered the regression testing to 900, in order to always make sure
nothing else come from unstable? I think I might be missing some
implications of this behaviour, right? Anyway, thanks for reassigning. I
saw it was fixed today.

Oh, well, we all regret something... But you can always remove it in a
future major release ;-)

Cheers,
Charles

Hi,


No, because then the fallback wouldn't work and we'd get much more
problems. autopkgtest already has an option to be stricter, but that
caused more issues than it solved when I used that for some time on the
ci.d.n infrastructure.


No, I tried. It was deliberately decided that what we now have is the
less bad option.


True. I don't regret it enough yet to go through that effort, but maybe
others will.

Paul
