I can confirm that one of the tests (0500MixedVolume) is failing on armel.  Here is some sample output from a porterbo.  The expected output is 11.

As a band-aid fix to prevent gfan and its dependencies from being removed from trixie, we skip this particular test during the build and autopkgtests of gfan 0.7-3, which was just uploaded to unstable.  Dropping the severity to "important".

The armel architecture was removed in November 2025, so this bug is no longer relevant.  Closing
