For documentation purposes. The autopkgtests failures for systemd were unrelated to this (not regressions).
I checked their logs and reran with the migration-reference/0 trigger so not to use kbd from -proposed; that failed as well. The pending SRU and update-excuses pages no longer show kbd blocked on the autopkgtests failures. https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/jammy/update_excuses.html#kbd https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/kinetic/update_excuses.html#kbd -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to kbd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1996619 Title: Setfont error due to deprecated PIO_FONTX ioctl Status in subiquity: Invalid Status in kbd package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in kbd source package in Jammy: Fix Committed Status in kbd source package in Kinetic: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] There is an error message that get thrown in in syslog.
