Running the hello world example in a loop seems to be causing problems to the controller

[fgiorgetti]

Describe the bug Running the hello-world example, using the same namespace names and resource names in a loop, seems to be causing problems to the controller. The logs show that it is trying to update the listener, but failing.

How To Reproduce Run the hello-world example (automated) in a loop.

Expected behavior Site state should reflect current resources, but I see:

NAMESPACE            NAME         STATUS   SITES IN NETWORK   MESSAGE
token-east-testing   token-east   Ready    2                  OK
token-west-testing   token-west   Ready    2                  OK

NAMESPACE            NAME              STATUS   REMOTE SITE   MESSAGE
token-east-testing   link-1738790792   Ready    token-west    OK

NAMESPACE            NAME                          ROUTING KEY    PORT   HOST      STATUS    HAS MATCHING CONNECTOR   MESSAGE
token-west-testing   listener.skupper.io/backend   backend-8080   8080   backend   Pending                            No matching connectors

NAMESPACE            NAME                           ROUTING KEY    PORT   HOST   SELECTOR      STATUS   HAS MATCHING LISTENER   MESSAGE
token-east-testing   connector.skupper.io/backend   backend-8080   8080          app=backend   Ready    true                    OK
