[New-bugs-announce] [issue34734] Azure linux buildbot failure

[Karthikeyan Singaravelan]

New submission from Karthikeyan Singaravelan <tir.karthi at gmail.com>:

It seems there is a sporadic failure in Azure linux buildbots while installing dependencies with the following error. It also fails sporadically on separate PRs that trigger the build. I noticed it for the few days since README Azure badge had the error for a couple of days with Linux builds passing on Travis.

Error message :

Reference buildbot failure : https://dev.azure.com/python/cpython/_build/results?buildId=30061&view=logs

Adding Victor and Pablo for notification. I don't think this is a requirement but just something I noticed and it also blocks miss-islington from auto-merging backport PRs in some cases like https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/9401#issuecomment-422505327

Thanks
