Ah, I see there is an upload for noble in unapproved.
... but it doesn't mention this bug. Sorry, I'm confused. The upload in jammy unapproved also doesn't mention this bug. Was this uploaded?

NEVER MIND, I see it now  in jammy unapproved :)

** Also affects: walinuxagent (Ubuntu Noble)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: walinuxagent (Ubuntu Noble)
       Status: New => In Progress

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

   Nowadays, we do not run tests at building time (nor autopkgtest), relying only on upstream's effectiveness. 
   Actually, upstream has fixed some issues we had when running their test in Ubuntu, even adapting it to pytest from nose depending on the python version (nose for <= 3.9, pytest for >= 3.10), so our future buildings could be more robust using them.

  [ Test Plan ]

   You cannot see any test suite launched at building time in the recent logs. Instead of that, we got (e.g., Focal [2], line 1147):
   
  # No test were run on any of the previous versions, temporarily
   # ignoring the failures as they're not regressions (LP: #1800499)
   # XXX: Those need to be fixed ASAP.
   #-timeout 120 dh_auto_test -O--buildsystem=pybuild

   After applying this fix, you can see the test running (e.g. Focal
  [3], line 1317)

  [ Where problems could occur ]

   The main issue could be that the build could not end due to an error arising when running the tests. This situation can occur when running any test suite, and we check that this doesn't happen before the package's submission.
   Some tests could fail in the future due to other factors (like new uses/behaviours in Python versions), but this is not the case on a LTS: If new tests are incorporated due to a new MRE process, they will be adapted to the python version present in every series. 

  [ Other Info ]

   For every series, the changes that make this fix possible are (as
  listed in the changelog):

   - Jammy:
       * Using now pytest for running the test suite (LP: #1800499) (LP: #2063046) as recommended by upstream:
   - Focal:
       * Upstream uses nose as testsuite under Python 3.9 (#3081)(LP: #1800499):
   - Bionic, Xenial, Trusty: In progress

  [Original Description]
  ----------------------------------------------------------------

  The new upstream version of walinuxagent (2.2.32, unreleased in Ubuntu
  yet) and the previous 2.2.20 have failing unit-tests when run on
  Ubuntu. None of the previous walinuxagent package versions in Ubuntu
  were running the tests due to a bug in setup.py, resolved in a recent
  upstream commit [1]. Now, with the fix applied, many tests can be seen
  failing. All those unit-tests that are able to run during build should
  be passing, otherwise having unit-tests makes no sense.

  Example package build with listed unit-test failures:
