excuses:
- Migration status for dovecot (1:2.4.2+dfsg1-2 to 1:2.4.2+dfsg1-3): Waiting for test results or another package, or too young (no action required now - check later)
- Issues preventing migration:
- ∙ ∙ Lintian check waiting for test results on riscv64 - info
- ∙ ∙ Too young, only 0 of 2 days old
- Additional info (not blocking):
- ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/d/dovecot.html
- ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest for dovecot/1:2.4.2+dfsg1-3: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, i386: Pass, ppc64el: Pass, riscv64: Pass, s390x: Pass
- ∙ ∙ Reproducible on amd64
- ∙ ∙ Reproducible on arm64
- ∙ ∙ Reproducible on armhf
