Your date above is an important clue. Convergent with the 12th on that day I applied the pending Trisquel security patches which were rather extensive in that point release and included both apache and php and a lot more. It's possible that these security patches broke something. I might try backing out the apache and/or php ones to see if that improves things. > (I see that bug-gnu-emacs, by contrast, seems to have been churning > along this whole time without trouble, so the problem may be restricted > to a subset of Savannah projects.) > > https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2022-08/index.html Emacs uses the debbugs BTS which is completely separate and unrelated. > Can this be fixed, and the queued-up ticket updates (re)processed if > necessary?

Unknown until the problem is understood and fixed. And I am hoping that Ineiev will see this and take a look as the resident expert on that area of things. Bob
