[Bug 1829829] Re: Ubuntu CI has been flaky for a week

Looking at the latest 20 i386 tests, I see failing tests for 12888,
12884, 12912, 12918, and 12919.

PR 12884 looks like it's adding a new test, TEST-35, so I'll assume that
test just needs more work.

PR 12888 failed once, but there are 3 later tests that all pass, so I
assume it's ok now.

PR 12919 appears to have failed while building upstream systemd, so I
assume that's a problem with the PR.


PR 12912 passed once, but then was run again and failed due to TEST-34 timing out.
PR 12918 failed also with TEST-34 timing out.

However, these aren't failing because they just didn't have enough time
to run.  They are failing because they are running "systemd-run --wait"
but the --wait never completes, even though the service finishes.  This
is what I was talking about before when I mentioned that dbus (bus-api-
system) appears to be crashing/restarting.  Note in the failing test
upstream-stdout:


$ grep -E '(bus-api-system|run-u7)' upstream-stdout

It looks like bus-api-system is down when the service completes, and the notification that it finished never reaches the system-run --wait caller (the testsuite), so the testsuite just hangs doing nothing until the test timeout.

  Though judging by https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/12626, it
  appears that sometimes the tests pass.
