Source: liblouis Version: 3.19.0-2 Severity: serious Control: close -1 3.20.0-1 Tags: sid bookworm User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: out-of-sync Control: block -1 by 1001841
Dear all, Samuel,I already discussed this issue on IRC with Samuel, but I'm going to file this bug nevertheless. The following paragraphs are templated, but I aligned with Samuel that the RC bug is a genuine issue that correctly prevents migration. We're waiting for a solution upstream. If it's not coming in the next months or two, we'll probably revert liblouis. liblouis is a key package, so it can't be removed from testing.
==== bug template ====The Release Team considers packages that are out-of-sync between testing and unstable for more than 60 days as having a Release Critical bug in testing [1]. Your package src:liblouis has been trying to migrate for 64 days [2]. Hence, I am filing this bug.
If a package is out of sync between unstable and testing for a longer period, this usually means that bugs in the package in testing cannot be fixed via unstable. Additionally, blocked packages can have impact on other packages, which makes preparing for the release more difficult. Finally, it often exposes issues with the package and/or its (reverse-)dependencies. We expect maintainers to fix issues that hamper the migration of their package in a timely manner.
I have immediately closed this bug with the version in unstable, so if that version or a later version migrates, this bug will no longer affect testing. I have also tagged this bug to only affect sid and bookworm, so it doesn't affect (old-)stable.
If you believe your package is unable to migrate to testing due to issues beyond your control, don't hesitate to contact the Release Team.
