Bug#1072241: src:manpages: fails to migrate to testing for too long: RC bug and B-D not in testing

Your package src:manpages has been trying to migrate for 59 days [2]. Hence, I am filing this bug. The version in unstable has an unresolved RC bug (#1072158) and one of its Build-Depends isn't in testing and can't migrate. [...] Hi Marcos, I've seen that you've added quite a lot of new packages to the Build-Depends of manpages, therefore the migration to testing is currently not possible (due to missing Build-Depends in testing). The list of packages in Build-Depends changed considerably between manpages 6.05.01-1 and manpages 6.7-1 from Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 13), groff (>= 1.23.0), mandoc to Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 13), groff (>= 1.23.0), groff-base, bsdextrautils, bzip2, binutils, clang, clang-tidy, cpp, cppcheck, cpplint, diffoscope, git, iwyu, lzip, man, mandoc, moreutils, pkgconf, xz-utils I couldn't find any explanation in the commit messages or debian/changelog. What's the reason for all those additional dependencies? Can't we get rid of them? I don't see how they are needed for building the package.

Source: manpages Version: 6.05.01-1 Severity: serious Control: close -1 6.8-1 Tags: sid trixie User: release.debian@packages.debian.org Usertags: out-of-sync Control: block -1 by 1072158 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:manpages has been trying to migrate for 59 days [2]. Hence, I am filing this bug. The version in unstable has an unresolved RC bug (#1072158) and one of its Build-Depends isn't in testing and can't migrate. 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.
