Description

Observation

I again found the problem when working on #114523, e.g. see https://openqa.suse.de/tests/9196630#, the test passes but has warnings about "too many needles" and often also stalls detected:

Eventually we might need to turn the warning into a fatal error and fail the tests but to allow graceful handling I am creating this ticket so that you have a chance to fix those problems before they fail more tests.

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: Usual tests do not show any warnigs related to "make your needles more specific"
