Most changes to Python require a NEWS entry. Add one using the blurb_it web app or the blurb command-line tool.

If this change has little impact on Python users, wait for a maintainer to apply the skip news label instead.

Failing due to Unable to locate package libmpdec-dev, as the libmpdec-dev package does not appear in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. According to this comment, the removal is intentional as it is no longer needed, see the debian mailing list post.

@Damien-Chen are you able to test this please?

Sure!. No problem!

The regen-all check is failing, I assume something changed between LTS versions -- can you run make regen-all on 24.04 and push that?

Let me check if I can test it locally on my WSL2 ubuntu-24.04 or use another local machine to install ubuntu-24.04. Or if I can trigger all pipline on my fork repo so that I I don’t have to confirm the result every time I commit to this PR.

It means that adding make regen-all before git add -u like the below image show?

  - name: Check for changes
    run: |
      make regen-all
      git add -u
      changes=$(git status --porcelain)

It seems same error, I run on my forked repo in this

[AA-Turner]

Sorry, I meant you need to run make regen-all locally and commit the output of that to your branch.

It seems that the below three file cause error in ubuntu-24.04
aclocal.m4, config.guess, configure.

I test it in several method. First is run make regen-all on my local ubuntun-24.04 machine, and convert the whole output into a script, and then execute it before running Check for changes test but it fails.
Then I copy the above three mention file generated in ubuntu-24.04, and overwrite the original three file that in ubuntu-22.04 and it seems pass the check.

Maybe there are some modification between ubuntu-22.04 and ubuntu-24.04 cause the above mentioned three file different ?

The whole process and result were conduct in my fork repo here

ubuntu-24.04output.txt

And the attached file is the output of running make regen-all in ubuntu-24.04.

[Damien-Chen]

For ubuntu-24.04, these three file aclocal.m4, config.guess, configure are different than ubuntu-22.04. Maybe we should update these file together.
