Hi,

glibc 2.37-18 fixes an import security issue (CVE-2024-2961), and it
would be nice to have it in testing asap. It is currently blocked by the
proftpd-dfsg autopkgtest, which fails due to the lack of libnsl-dev in
the chroot, as this dependency got removed in glibc version 2.37-15.1 as
part of the time_t transition.

proftpd-dfsg has already been fixed by making it an explicity
build-dependency, however this fixed version can't enter testing as it
is entangled in the time_t transition. The glibc doesn't break
proftpd-dfsg in testing, but basically breaks its buildability and thus
its autopkgtest.

Do you think it would be possible to allow this glibc version to enter
testing by ignoring the result of the proftpd-dfsg autopkgtest?

Regards
Aurelien
