[Olivier Gayot (ogayot)]

The test suite is a bit fragile and would call mac2iface() with something that isn't a MAC address when a gre interface is configured on the system. This is apparently what we have on armhf autopkgtest runners.

We should filter out the esoteric interfaces.

This bug was fixed in the package nvme-stas - 2.3-1ubuntu3

---------------
nvme-stas (2.3-1ubuntu3) noble; urgency=medium

  * Skip mac2iface test for esoteric network interfaces (LP: #2045690)
  * Add upstream patch to fix udev test for esoteric network interfaces
