chef and ruby-cheffish in buster



Hi,

The ci.debian.net nodes are managed with chef, and during the weekend I
realized that it was not in testing. There was an RC bug against chef
(FTBFS, 3 tests broken by an update to the test framework, package just
worked nevertheless) and ruby-cheffish (broken by openssl 1.1.1). I
fixed both, and uploaded ruby-cheffish Saturday night and chef Sunday
morning.

ruby-cheffish migrated to testing before the freeze, but chef didn't
even though they have a pathological circular build dependency, so
ruby-cheffish can't be built in buster at the moment:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 builddeps:ruby-cheffish : Depends: chef but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.'

Maybe this a bug in britney; it should have migrated either both or none
of them, but not one without the other.

This needs to be fixed somehow. I would very much prefer to have chef
migrate, since 1) that would make my life maintaining ci.debian.net much
easier and 2) it will save a lot of Debian users the pain of not having
chef in stable. OTOH I realize chef was fixed too late, so if it's
unacceptable to have it in buster, ruby-cheffish needs to be removed.

Thanks in advance.
