Package: mtools
Severity: serious
Justification: breaks other packages autopkgtest
Affects: src:systemd
Dear Maintainer(s),
glibc 2.42-1 split out some old locales in a new package. This breaks
mcopy. The solution is simply, a dependency can be added:
libc-gconv-modules-extra | libc6 (<< 2.42-1~)
Given this package is QA-maintained, I'll add this fix and upload it
immediately.
