Dear maintainer(s),
Your package has an autopkgtest, great. However, it fails. 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

A new upstream version of compat-el is available tracking the unreleased
Emacs 31 branch. So for the time being compat-el is installable again,
before Emacs 31 is released.
