The job fedora-40/updates-testing failed on commit ab76818.

Smells related to the tracer crash: cockpit-project/bots#7139, but needs a closer look as there are lots of test failures. It's very suspicious that all of them happened in the same machine (ND@3)

Hm, this doesn't willingly reproduce. I ran the same test prep and tests on the VM as in CI:

bots/image-customize --fresh -v --script test/vm.updates-testing fedora-40
test/image-prepare -q --overlay fedora-40
bots/vm-run fedora-40

test/verify/check-packagekit TestUpdates.testNoPackageKit $RUNC
test/verify/check-system-tuned TestTuned.testBasic $RUNC
# first test that crashed in CI
test/verify/check-system-info TestSystemInfo.testHardwareInfo $RUNC
# that one didn't crash
test/verify/check-superuser TestSuperuser.testNoPasswd $RUNC
# that one did again
test/verify/check-storage-swap TestStorageswap.testBasic $RUNC -stv

I also tried

test/common/run-tests  --test-dir test/verify TestUpdates.testNoPackageKit TestTuned.testBasic TestSystemInfo.testHardwareInfo TestSuperuser.testNoPasswd TestStorageswap.testBasic

Retrying in CI to compare. log ⏳

[martinpitt]

The retry passed. Since the original log doesn't give away any useful information, and this isn't reproducible, I'm giving up. I'll reopen if it happens again in the next nightlies.
