The latest SRU got finally released at the beginning of the week (bug 2071609). It was ready for a while, but I think the SRU team is just understaffed. I just verified, the fix is present on both Jammy and Noble, so I'll mark this as "Fixed Released". Can you verify you're running the latest version released in `noble-updates`? It should be `5.38ubuntu1~24.04.1`.

Matching subscriptions: ubuntu-qa-bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2069957 Title: warning: short-form boolean option 'readonly' deprecated Status in autopkgtest package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in autopkgtest source package in Jammy: Fix Released Status in autopkgtest source package in Noble: Fix Released Status in autopkgtest source package in Oracular: Fix Released Status in autopkgtest package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: [ Impact ] The bug displays a warning when calling autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud. This is because the call to qemu uses a deprecated short version. The risk is that in a future version of qemu the support for this short option is removed and the tool stops working. [ Test Plan ] Use the patched autopkgtest package to run the autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud command, and verify that the warning is gone. [ Where problems could occur ] People running versions of qemu without the support for `readonly=on` (if such version exist) may have the autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud tool stop working.
