Hi there,

I'm trying to package notmuch for Redhat's enterprise linux and clones
(EPEL, extra packages for enterprise linux). 

This looks mostly fine, including the tests, except for intermittent
failures on epel-8-s390x. They look like the below, or in tests
following those, and apparantly all have to do with "db not synced yet"
or such, so that a message one subtest creates only shows up in the db
for the next subtest.

I've also had completely fine test runs on epel-8-s390x, but I'm
starting to wonder whether I've just been lucky so far on other
platforms ... Could it be possible that generate_message(), even though
adding the message, still returns false and therefore add_message() does
not call "notmuch new"? One might want to drop the "&&" there in
test-lib-common, I dunno. This shouldn't be "intermittent".

Michael
