The test job failed because four tile-position tests in tests/test_shell.py load pyvips, which needs libvips.so.42. The ubuntu-latest runner doesn't ship that library, so the tests raised OSError: cannot load library 'libvips.so.42'.

• .github/workflows/pytest.yml
  • Adds an "Install libvips" step before the Python dependency install.
  • Installs libvips42t64, the package name on Ubuntu 24.04, and falls back to libvips42 for older runner images.

- name: Install libvips
  run: |
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install -y libvips42t64 || sudo apt-get install -y libvips42

The workflow hasn't been run with this change, so confirm the package name resolves on the current runner image.

🟢 Approval recommended

The package name is valid for the current Ubuntu runner image, and the fallback safely supports older images.
