openSUSE:Factory build fail stats: 96 failed  34 unresolvable (last 
meeting: 23 failed 15 unresolvable)

Over the weekend, we did a full rebuild of Factory to disable building 
python3.11 modules.
This has caused a small bump in the number of build failures in Factory. 
However, the overall number of failures isn't too bad, slightly over 
100.
