Dear maintainer(s),

I looked at the results of the autopkgtest of your package because it's
indirectly blocking the perl transition. I noticed that it regularly
fails, at least on ppc64el and riscv64, less so on other architectures
(but all failures I saw were abol_test3).

Because the unstable-to-testing migration software now blocks on
regressions in testing, flaky tests, i.e. tests that flip between
passing and failing without changes to the list of installed packages,
are causing people unrelated to your package to spend time on these
tests.

Don't hesitate to reach out if you need help and some more information
from our infrastructure.

Paul

Hi,

It should be fixed with 9.2.8+dfsg-1, but I'm not closing the bug to
monitor the situation. I'm reducing the severity to important.

Best,
Lev
