I'm constantly checking the tracker page of r-bioc-biocgenerics[1] to follow the transition status. I realised that debci picks old, not yet fixed package versions like:r-bioc-biocfilecache/2.4.0+dfsg-1 while 2.4.0+dfsg-2 is in unstable r-bioc-biocsingular/1.12.0+ds-1 while 1.14.0+ds-2 is in unstable (I've just uploaded fixed r-bioc-bluster - lets see what will be picked) r-bioc-edaseq/2.30.0+dfsg-1 while 2.32.0+dfsg-2 is in unstable
It's not debci that picks them, but rather britney (our migration software) that doesn't know from the information it uses that r-bioc-biocgenerics from unstable makes r-bioc-biocfilecache from testing uninstallable. I haven't checked but I suspect that this transition is declared via Provides and this *might* mean that britney doesn't handle Provides ideally for this use case.
I wonder when debci will be run with the latest versions in unstable that are fixing the build issues.
*Probably* when bugs in britney regarding this use of Provides are fixed. For now, I'll schedule some tests manually with the Release Team credentials.
