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

[Danilo Egea Gondolfo]

I submitted a patch to disable that test while we investigate the
problem. It will unblock the proposed migration.

Autopkgtest https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-mantic-
danilogondolfo-libwww-mechanize-perl2/mantic/amd64/libw/libwww-
mechanize-perl/20230705_131546_5dc27@/log.gz

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.
