Public bug reported:

In `autopkgtest-cloud/worker/worker` there is a set of
TEMPORARY_TEST_FAIL_STRINGS for which there is then an exemption set -
OK_PKG_STRINGS. This ends up being overly general though. The code
contains the following:

 823                     contents = log_contents(out_dir)
 824                     temp_fails = [s for s in (set(TEMPORARY_TEST_FAIL_STRINGS)
 825                                               - set(getglob(OK_PKG_STRINGS, pkgname, [])))
 826                                   if s in contents]

I recently added dbconfig-common to OK_PKG_STRINGS (`'dbconfig-common':
['Temporary failure in name resolution']`) but the log line I really
wanted to match on was more complex:

psql: error: could not translate host name "someserver" to address:
Temporary failure in name resolution

Because there could still be a 'Temporary failure in name resolution'
when connecting to the archive and that should be considered a temp fail
but a problem connecting to the local postrgresql server should be
considered a genuine failure.
