Dear maintainer(s),
I looked at the results of the autopkgtest of your package. I noticed
that it regularly fails. I scheduled 5 tests in testing on armhf and 5
on s390x: 3/10 failed. I pasted the failure part of one of the logs
below, however it seems the failing test and failure mode is different
between the 3 failures.
Because the unstable-to-testing migration software now blocks on
regressions in testing, flaky tests, i.e. tests that flip between
passing and failing without changes to the list of installed packages,
are causing people unrelated to your package to spend time on these
tests.
Don't hesitate to reach out if you need help and some more information
from our infrastructure.
Paul
