Bug#1041738: src:lme4: fails to migrate to testing for too long: causes timeout in autopkgtests on i386



Source: lme4
Version: 1.1-31-1
Severity: serious
Control: close -1 1.1-34-1
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-r@lists.debian.org
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:lme4 has been trying to migrate for 32 days [2]. Hence, I am filing this bug.

The version in unstable causes 3 autopkgtest failures when tested in testing, all on i386. The failures are due to autopkgtest timeout after 2:47 h, while normally these tests run in minutes, so this suggests the tests hang. In unstable, r-cran-afex and r-cran-mertools pass (so this is probably a (set of) package(s) in unstable that also needs to migrate together with lme4), but r-cran-mlmrev also times out in unstable.

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
