Bug Description
[Availability]
The package libtraceevent is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package libtraceevent build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architetcures: amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x.
Link to package [[https:/
[Rationale]
The package libtraceevent is a runtime dependency of libtracefs which is a new dependency of ndctl which is in main (libtracefs MIR bug: LP #2008799).
It would be great and useful to community/processes to have the package libtraceevent (and libtracefs) in Ubuntu main, but there is no hard deadline, hopefully before Lunar release.
[Security]
Nothing was found in the CVE database:
https:/
Also nothing was found in the OSS security mailing list archive.
No CVE in the Ubuntu security tracker:

- Debian https:/
- The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support
[Quality assurance - testing]
- The package does not run a test suite on build time right now but I submitted this MP to do that:
Once that is uploaded it will run the upstream tests during build time.
- The package also does not have DEP-8 tests to be executed via autopkgtest but the MP mentioned above is adding a test to have at least a minimal coverage.
Since there is no autopkgtest run against the version in the archive, there is no failure.
