bug#62210: Job build-image-gnustep does not run anymore on EMBA

[Michael Albinus]

Hi,

Recently, we have upgraded EMBA jobs to run using Debian 11 (bullseye)
instead of Debian 9 (stretch). Since then, the gitlab job
build-image-gnustep fails. See for example
<https://emba.gnu.org/emacs/emacs/-/jobs/64723/raw>.

Best regards, Michael.

Nobody has answered, so I comment out the tests temporarily.

Best regards, Michael.

Will try. Lets continue discussion on bug#62210.

That didn't help. See <https://emba.gnu.org/emacs/emacs/-/jobs/65167>.

Was that all, or is there more to do here?  Thanks.

For emba, that's OK. I've left the bug open in case somebody else wants
to work on gnustep. Looks like nobody is interested, so I'm closing the
bug.
