Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) reached end-of-life on April 29, 2021.

I'm setting this bug to "Incomplete" as it's not seen any activity for some time. If this is still an issue when using a currently maintained release of Ubuntu then please let us know otherwise this bug report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.
