Bug#1043427: src:utop: fails to migrate to testing for too long: blocked by ocaml-logs rebuild
Source: utop
Version: 2.13.0-1
Severity: serious
Control: close -1 2.13.1-2
Tags: sid trixie
User: release.debian.org@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:utop has been trying to migrate for 37
days [2]. Hence, I am filing this bug. The version in unstable seems to
be involved in some ocaml transition that appears to be stalled somehow.
(I hardly understand how the ocaml ecosystem in Debian works).
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.
Paul
