Source: apache2
Version: 2.4.66-2
Severity: serious
User: debian-ci@lists.debian.org
Usertags: timeout flaky

Dear maintainer(s),

Your package has an autopkgtest, great. However, it regularly fails. 
What's worse, when it fails, it's because it seems to hang and 
eventually times out due to autopkgtest. Can you please investigate the 
situation and fix it? I copied some of the output at the bottom of this 
report. It seems this started to happen with 2.4.66-2.

Because the unstable-to-testing migration software now blocks on
regressions in testing, flaky tests, i.e. tests that flip between
passing and failing without changes to the list of installed packages,
are causing people unrelated to your package to spend time on these
tests.

The release team has announced [1] that failing autopkgtest on amd64 and 
arm64 are considered RC in testing. Also tests that time out (while 
normally running in much less time) are bad for our infrastructure. I 
have added your package to our reject_list and will remove it once this 
bug is closed.

More information about this bug and the reason for filing it can be 
found on
