Judging by the log it is the same problem as https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/4351#issuecomment-962900388. So this is already fixed and retrying the job helped.
Not sure whether it is worth improving the output. One had to scroll a little bit to the top but the source of the problem was actually apparent.

I suspect it was not apparent to me. Can you elaborate what one should have seen here?

I saw the same dependency resolution error as @okurz mentioned in the PR:
<status package="openQA" code="unresolvable">
<details>have choice for libpq.so.5()(64bit) needed by perl-DBD-Pg: libpq5 postgresql14-devel-mini, have choice for libpq.so.5()(64bit) needed by postgresql12-server: libpq5 postgresql14-devel-mini, have choice for libpq5 >= 12.6 needed by postgresql12-server: libpq5 postgresql14-devel-mini, have choice for libpq.so.5()(64bit) needed by postgresql12: libpq5 postgresql14-devel-mini, have choice for libpq5 >= 12.6 needed by postgresql12: libpq5 postgresql14-devel-mini</details>
</status>
And the following:
++ grep 'status package'
++ grep -v '\(disabled\|succeeded\|excluded\)'
<status package="openQA" code="unresolvable">
<status package="openQA:openQA-test" code="unresolvable">
Which makes it clear that these two packages were unresolvable (and they should be succeeded or at least disabled/excluded).

Regarding the scrolling up:
The dots come from this line (see the link above the line for what this is needed):
https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/osd-deployment/-/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml#L49
.gitlab_workaround: &gitlab_workaround |
(
trap "kill %1" EXIT; while true; do sleep 1 && echo -n .; done &
set -ex
(note that the -n
for the echo
did have an effect a while ago, and the dots were all on the same line, but someday gitlab added a linebreak itself)
I suggested that we increase the sleep time from 1 to 5 seconds. Since that is running in the background it won't affect the actual pipeline itself, it might just take 4 more seconds at the end (the pipeline in question took over 35 minutes).
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/-/issues/4119#note_257314431 suggests that a higher sleep time will still be good enough to workaround the bug.
That would considerably reduce the number of lines with a dot. I find it annoying how much I have to scroll to find actual error messages.
Alternatively we could check in which version(s) of gitlab and/or related software the bug was fixed, and which versions we have running. Then we could eventually remove the workaround completely.

Discussed this briefly with marius/oli/tina/sebastian and as an improvement, the script could show a URL to the OBS web UI which would provide the context for what the script is also checking (maybe mapped from the API URL).
