[Bug 2025645] Re: t/local/referer.t blocking forever during autopkgtests

[Lukas Märdian]

I tried building/testing an updated version of this package from Debian
in a PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~slyon/+archive/ubuntu/testing/+sourcepub/16608475/+listing-
archive-extra

The tests still seem to time-out on t/local/referer.t. Interestingly,
this seems to happen only on the bos03 datacenter, not on architectures
running in lcy02. So maybe that's for the QA/Release Management team to
investigate.

$ ppa tests ppa:slyon/testing -r plucky -p libwww-mechanize-perl -L

Title:
  t/local/referer.t blocking forever during autopkgtests

Status in libwww-mechanize-perl package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The test file t/local/referer.t will block forever on Ubuntu's
  autopkgtest runners.

  There is a similar problem reported upstream a few years ago but I'm
  not sure they are related. I added more details to it
  https://github.com/libwww-perl/WWW-Mechanize/issues/281

  referer.t will start a local webserver implemented in t/local/referer-
  server. Each test will call the webserver and stop it by calling GET
  /quit-server in the last test. Although, in the end, referer.t blocks
  on wait(referer-server), supposedly after calling close(), but
  referer-server is blocked on accept().

  These tests will just work locally and are not blocking on Debian.
