Although the development release (25.04) is mysteriously not affected, we need to have the change land there first before submitting it to the stable releases as per the SRU policy.

I do not have a 24.10 (Oracular) image at hand, are you using 24.04 (Noble) or 24.10 (Oracular)?

@Nathan, thanks for the work there. Now that aptdaemon got imported to it could you propose the change against https://code.launchpad.net/aptdaemon ?
