Bug#969158: expeyes: maybe a false positive generated by mail_autoremovals.pl?
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Dear members of the release team,
The package expeyes which I maintain is affected repeatedly by announcements
telling that "expeyes is marked for autoremoval from testing", ... on
2020-09-16,
due to the fact that it is supposed to (build-)depend on binutils-avr, which
FTBFS.
I presume that it might be some false positive detection.
Here is the list of its build-dependencies:
debhelper-compat (=12),
python3-all,
dh-python,
python3-docutils,
pkg-config,
wxglade,
x11proto-randr-dev (>= 1.5.0),
pyqt5-dev-tools,
qttools5-dev-tools,
qt5-qmake
as far as I know, none of them is related with binutils-avr.
The source package expeyes generates one binary package, microhope, which
declares a dependency on avr-libc; should I downgrade this dependency down to
a recommendation? The binary package microhope does not need binutils-avr
as it is mainly an editor for small C or assembly language snippets. It needs
binutils-avr only when the end user will try to compile and link one one the
edited snippets.
Thank you in advance for any feedback.
Best regards, Georges.
