Hi all
Just a heads-up that the Azure Pipelines build failures for Linux
machines are a known issue that should be fixed by the end of the week.
It seems the service has become so popular since last week's
announcements that many more builds are being run on machines that have
been freshly imaged, and so they are racing with a background 'apt
update' command. This causes an explicit 'apt update' to (correctly)
fail to acquire its lock. I believe it's also related to the move from
running builds within Docker containers to actual VMs, which happened
around the same time.
Until it's fixed, feel free to ignore the Azure Pipelines status for
Linux builds. Apologies for the inconvenience with backports not
auto-merging.
Cheers,
Steve
