--- Begin Message ---Package: speedtest-cli Version: 2.1.3-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Dear Maintainer, Attempts to run the package from several Debian 11.4 systems produces: farfalle$ speedtest --csv Cannot retrieve speedtest configuration ERROR: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden farfalle$ (Attempts to run from Debian 10.12 in another country show only cosmetic differences from this behaviour.) This is a relatively recent change in behaviour and, as such, I think it more likely to be caused by the server speedtest is talking to. I tried also '--simple' and '--list' but the results are the same. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.4 APT prefers stable-security APT policy: (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-17-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages speedtest-cli depends on: ii ca-certificates 20210119 ii python3 3.9.2-3 ii python3-pkg-resources 52.0.0-4 speedtest-cli recommends no packages. speedtest-cli suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
