Source: gnutls28 Version: 3.8.6-2 Severity: important Tags: sid trixie User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: edos-uninstallable
Dear maintainer(s),gnutls28 has a <!nocheck> build dependency on datefudge, but since April 2024 datefudge has an RC bug because if FTBFS. There is no activity on that bug report and datefudge has been removed from testing.
I rebuild gnutls28 twice, as-is and with datefudge removed from the build dependencies, and used diffoscope to check that the binaries remain the same. So, it's possible to drop the dependency without too much impact (I assume some tests will be skipped). Can you please help the maintainer of datefudge to fix it or drop the dependency until datefudge is fixed?
I have rated this bug as severity important for now because technically gnutls28 now FTBFS in testing, but it's trivial to work around and it's the result of a balancing act described at [1]. When we get closer to the freeze, this issue will become RC.
