It's NA and not FAIL. Seems the admin of the test environment didn't allow 
to install newer modules. I would ignore it. I like rock solid, high 
quality, 100% test coverage for my own modules, but I ignore NA.

How did you determine which specific version of each dependency you need?

AFAIK most installed 5.10.x are 5.10.1, not the buggy 5.10.0.
