Thanks for letting me know. I have updated the package to the newest 
upstream release (2.6.1) and can no longer reproduce the problem 
(checked on i386 porterbox). I do not know what made the issue disappear 
and will not have enough time to investigate it, but the important thing 
is that it is resolved, and autopkgtests will let us know if it reoccurs.

Thanks a lot for fixing prody in Debian 12.

I do not use salsa CI, but maybe because I have already developed my 
workflows before its advent and do not see much benefits that are not 
already covered by porterboxes and autopkgtests. That said, I am not 
opposed to someone else adding salsa-ci.yml to packages I maintain. It 
is just that I will not pay attention to its results myself.

As said, feel free to add it if you see the benefit.

Best wishes,
