A cloned job https://openqa.suse.de/tests/7863925 does not immediately reproduce this problem

Reproducible¶

So far only a single occurence was found

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: We at least improved the code a little bit

Problem¶

We see a not so helpful stack trace.

Suggestions¶

• Look at the exact code section and take a look what could go wrong there, improve test code coverage, logging and error handling.
• Don't try to fix a problem that we can't reproduce :)
• Switch over to transactional upgrades
