Buildfarm member skink has failed 3 times in
035_standby_logical_decoding.pl in the last couple of days:
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=skink&dt=2024-01-03%2020%3A07%3A15https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=skink&dt=2024-01-03%2017%3A09%3A27https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=skink&dt=2024-01-01%2020%3A10%3A18
These all look like
# poll_query_until timed out executing this query:
# select (confl_active_logicalslot = 1) from pg_stat_database_conflicts where datname = 'testdb'
# expecting this output:
# t
# last actual query output:
# f
although it's notable that two different tests are involved
(vacuum vs. vacuum full).
I am not real sure what is happening there, but I see that c161ab74f
changed some details of how that test works, so I wonder if it's
responsible for these failures. The timing isn't a perfect match,
since this commit went in two weeks ago, but I don't see any
more-recent commits that seem like plausible explanations.
