Comment 2 for bug 1744166

Seeing the change, it looks to me that the same issue would be present in artful as the patch has only been added in bionic. Could you please prepare an artful upload for this source as well?

Since this is essentially test-related change, I will be accepting xenial without blocking on artful. But to keep things in-sync I would still request a fix being uploaded to the next valid upgrade path.
