Dear maintainer(s),

Your package has an autopkgtest, great. However, it fails since July
2025 in unstable and testing, but also in stable and oldstable. Can you
please investigate the situation and fix it? I copied some of the output
at the bottom of this report.

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
https://wiki.debian.org/ContinuousIntegration/RegressionEmailInformation

As this is a test only issue, with my Release Team member hat on I have
tagged it such that it won't be auto-removed before the release as it's
so late in the freeze and it's not worth removing the package from
trixie because of this at this moment.

Paul

Hi,
suite name? That way the test in (old|)stable will also tell if you can
still bootstrap testing with the version in (old|)stable.

Or alternatively, make the tests "Restriction: skippable" and exit with
77 when the suite no longer exists in the archive?

But let's not do this for trixie, I'll hint what we have now.

Paul
