Hi all.  I don't know what is up with buildbot, but we have around two 
issues and one mystery.  I'm trying to get them sorted out, directly or 
indirectly.

1) Buildbot is about to fail with a memcached error.  This is an 
instance of https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/729062 .  I have 
asked thedac to kill memcached and then force a new build.  This will 
get us out of testfix.

2) Benji and Francesco report that they reliably get this error in devel 
trunk locally and on ec2: http://paste.ubuntu.com/763881/ .  A possible 
cause is that ec2 and local instances have a newer version of the 
launchpad developer dependencies than buildbot.  I'm asking webops 
(thedac) to get the currently installed versions of these dependencies, 
and then I've asked benji to revert his local packages to those 
revisions to see if the error goes away.

3) (a mystery, rather than a problem) The history on the buildbot master 
seems to have been eaten.  According to the buildbot waterfall, the 
currently running devel test jumps from r14367 to r14455, representing a 
jump from 11-23 to 12-08.  That implies that we lost some information on 
the build master, though thedac didn't see a comment to that effect in 
the webops logs.  It's no big deal AFAIK, but it is a bit of a surprise 
when you start looking at the current buildbot state.
