Bug#1042723: src:r-cran-tmb: fails to migrate to testing for too long: autopkgtest regression
Hi [Just in case you didn't know: submitters of bugs in the BTS are not copied on replies, so I only saw your message because I went to the bug myself] On Wed, 2 Aug 2023 20:58:39 +0530 Nilesh Patra wrote: This needs fixing in two stages. The error is: | 38s TMB was built with Matrix version 1.5.4.1 | 38s Current Matrix version is 1.5.3 So rmatrix's new version needs to go to testing, which is currently 1.6.0. So 1. rmatrix 1.6.0 needs to go to testing 2. tmb needs to be rebuilt against rmatrix 1.6.0 What I don't like about this phrasing is that it doesn't discuss why tmb needs rebuilding and why that's not correctly embedded in the package relations to begin with. The message you quote above is only a warning, so it's not the full story as apparently it's normally OK to have the skew (as I would expect). I wonder, does rebuilding just work? I recall I saw that tmb had a new upstream release with only three changes where one was to be compatible with the new rmatrix [1]. With rebuilding, would the right relation of tmb towards rmatrix be embedded in the package relations (otherwise r-cran-tmb can migrate to testing before rmatrix does, I don't know if that would be a problem). rmatrix can't migrate to testing before either tmb is fixed (by a rebuild but see above or otherwise) or tmb is removed from testing. If it's clear that rebuilding is the right (Debian) solution (and not papering over issues that should be solved), then I can schedule the rebuilds. But I'm not convinced yet.

Bug#1042723: src:r-cran-tmb: fails to migrate to testing for too long: autopkgtest regression
Source: r-cran-tmb Version: 1.9.2-1 Severity: serious Control: close -1 1.9.4-1 Tags: sid trixie User: release.debian@packages.debian.org Usertags: out-of-sync Dear maintainer(s), The Release Team considers packages that are out-of-sync between testing and unstable for more than 30 days as having a Release Critical bug in testing [1]. Your package src:r-cran-tmb has been trying to migrate for 32 days [2]. Hence, I am filing this bug. The autopkgtest of the version in unstable fails everywhere. If a package is out of sync between unstable and testing for a longer period, this usually means that bugs in the package in testing cannot be fixed via unstable. Additionally, blocked packages can have impact on other packages, which makes preparing for the release more difficult. Finally, it often exposes issues with the package and/or its (reverse-)dependencies. We expect maintainers to fix issues that hamper the migration of their package in a timely manner. This bug will trigger auto-removal when appropriate. As with all new bugs, there will be at least 30 days before the package is auto-removed. I have immediately closed this bug with the version in unstable, so if that version or a later version migrates, this bug will no longer affect testing. I have also tagged this bug to only affect sid and trixie, so it doesn't affect (old-)stable. If you believe your package is unable to migrate to testing due to issues beyond your control, don't hesitate to contact the Release Team.
