Dear maintainer(s),
Your package has an autopkgtest, great. However, it fails since
recently. Can you please investigate the situation and fix it? I copied
some of the output at the bottom of this report. The package is
installing packages (I believe that's it's purpose), but when it
installs dovecot-core, that fails. However, the piuparts run of
src:dovecot passes, so I suspect the issue lies in src:debian-edu.
Please reassign if I got that wrong.
The release team has announced [1] that failing autopkgtest on amd64 and
arm64 are considered RC in testing.
More information about this bug and the reason for filing it can be
found on
