Regarding python3.11, this needs: https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/3501eca89e27873f6037abcb39e5031dfbce7077 Without the fails_with_expat_2_6_0 due to the CVE-2023-52425 backport this becomes: https://salsa.debian.org/lts-team/packages/python3.7/-/commit/abf7997346d1cc2f7b96a5f643efff742a26d91d#77e295c43281825c62439f85ee54902e04eae026 This won't cause build failures since Python3 is one of the toolchain packages that runs a huge number of buildtime tests but ignores all test failures: https://sources.debian.org/src/python3.11/3.11.2-6%2Bdeb12u6/debian/rules#L677 https://sources.debian.org/src/python3.11/3.11.2-6%2Bdeb12u6/debian/rules#L693 https://sources.debian.org/src/python3.11/3.11.2-6%2Bdeb12u6/debian/rules#L708 So this is harmless with a test-only fix, and the autopkgtest can be fixed in the next python3.11 update. Regarding node-expat, #1064047 was fixed by RM and I have no idea whether this is more than a test failure. > Regards, > > Adam cu Adrian
