Description

The issue is very sticky, it can not be reproduced stably (so far 50% on x86_64, but not seen on other platforms). re-run the test can fix the issue.

but based on the test result, I can get some clue:
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/4725995#step/pam_mount/24

We can see, when the expect script get the "passphase", then it should input the password. however, the input text was typed out prior to the expected value.

It most likes a time racing issue, I don't think I can do much here,may be I can file a bug to "expect" package? anyway, the issue can go away after re-run.

I will try to monitor it for some builds,and may need change the expect script to openqa utils "script_run_interactive".
