The blocking issues is indeed plplot. The version in unstable dropped the octave package, but the version in testing still has it. So it's part of the octave transition. libplplotada3-dev in unstable depends on gnat and gnat-10, so is unsable to migrate because gnat in testing still depends on gnat-9 but gnat-9 and gnat-10 are conflicting with each other. To unblock the situation, I currently see the following options: * Upload plplot 5.15.0+dfsg-16 together with the change to drop octave-plplot to testing-pu [1]. Then plplot would no longer be involved in the octave transition and octave would be able to migrate. * Remove plplot and reverse dependencies from testing.
