This is a 6-month old commit. This package was fixed in commit
00ed646063d0f0c1fe63a93c0a04d9d7890fcf5b 2 months ago.

Do you have newer results?

The list was generated through f42 as a proxy to get A/B testing, so yes I expect some of them to be too old.

I'd say, the critical part is actually the second list, packages that still don't build with autoconf and gettext updates. Even though they are gated, we still hope they could be taken into account before the mass-rebuild kicks in.

I'll try to generate a more up to date list, but I can't guarantee it. It implies to build the rawhide versions in an 42 chroot to have the B test building with gettext 0.24. The risk is to hide some failures because you simply can't build their rawhide versions in f42 for whatever reasons.
