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

britney already has a mechanism to handle this, by pretending that the
unavailable package exists in the archive. In this case, the list
already included oracle-instantclient-basic; I've added
oracle-instantclient1.2-basic.
