Bug#595329: release.debian.org: Please force-hint libdbd-oracle-perl/1.24b-1 (contrib)



Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal

libdbd-oracle-perl (contrib) cannot migrate to testing[1] as the
dependency on oracle-instantclient11.2-basic cannot be satisfied: the
package is not in Debian's archive, cf. libdbd-oracle-perl's description
and README.Debian.

The Policy Manual states that packages in contrib may (build-)depend on 
(non-free) packages that are not in the archive[2].

Could the release team force-hint the package into testing or will this
cause headaches later?

  force-hint libdbd-oracle-perl/1.24b-1

If this is not possible, please reassign this as a RC bug to
libdbd-oracle-perl.

Regards,
Ansgar
