Hi, we have a rather unfortunate situation with the golang-github-gomodule-redigo-dev package, see #974550 for the details. tl;dr: upstream released v2.0.0 on 2018-03-14, though went downwards with version numbers afterwards and we're at v1.8.3 for the latest upstream release now. In Debian we currently have v2.0.0 in buster/testing/unstable. It looks like upstream isn't willing to raise the version number (see https://github.com/gomodule/redigo/issues/532, and a somewhat related discussion took place also in https://github.com/gomodule/redigo/issues/366), so if we want to fix the situation for bullseye, we need a workaround/solution soonish. Since the problem exists due to the way go module versioning works, it might make sense to discuss, how to handle it a) now for golang-github-gomodule-redigo-dev, but also b) apply the same decision whenever the issue comes up again? The situation is related to the fact how go module versioning works: * `go get github.com/gomodule/redigo/redis` currently points at v1.8.3 * https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/gomodule/redigo/redis?tab=versions says v1, both for v1.8.3 but also v2.0.0+incompatible AFAICS we could: 1) use 2.0.0+really1.8.3 pattern for our Debian package version 2) introduce an epoch 3) any further trick/workaround? Thoughts? Thanks to Clément Hermann, Tianon Gravi and Shengjing Zhu for their feedback on #debian-golang. regards -mika-
