- ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest for libguestfs: amd64: Test triggered, arm64: Test triggered, ppc64el: Test triggered, s390x: Test triggered
- ∙ ∙ Lintian check waiting for test results on riscv64 - info
- ∙ ∙ Too young, only 0 of 5 days old
- Additional info (not blocking):
- ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/g/guestfs-tools.html
