No action necessary. Both builds failed because "Could not resolve host". Unfortunately we see these types of network errors rather frequently from Travis CI and we do not know how to get the Travis people to resolve it. It does not appear to be a very good service. We also use the Azure Pipelines service which as far as I know has not had these problems. Maybe we should stop using the Travis CI service altogether.
