Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
Please remove ipadic packages in unstable and testing of non-free archive to
complete non-free to main transition.
It seems package transition script does not seem to handle rare case of
transition from non-free and main smoothly and need some handholding.
Here is a bit more detail to this request.
I have recently moved ipadic package from non-free to main.
When I try to upload newer version fixing RC bug (2.7.0-3), it is
rejected as follows. (I tried twice and rejected twice. So this is not
a freak transit problem.)

I checked archive and found that this ipadic package is in very strange
situation as follows.
osamu@ries:~$ dak ls ipadic
ipadic | 2.6.3-2 | oldstable/non-free | source, i386, mips
ipadic | 2.6.3-2 | stable/non-free | source, i386, mips
ipadic | 2.6.3-2 | testing/non-free | source, i386, mips
ipadic | 2.6.3-2 | unstable/non-free | source, i386, mips
ipadic | 2.7.0-2 | unstable | source, amd64
$ apt-cache madison ipadic
ipadic | 2.7.0-2 | http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian/ sid/main amd64
Packages
ipadic | 2.6.3-2 | http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian/ sid/main Sources
ipadic | 2.7.0-2 | http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian/ sid/main Sources
ipadic | 2.6.3-2 | http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian/ sid/non-free Sources
ipadic | 2.7.0-2 | http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian/ sid/non-free Sources
It looks odd to see there are 2 unstable package sources both in
non-free and main with different version. The older non-free should
have been removed. I can not think any other reason why upload of newer
version is rejected with bogus claim "already known to dak".
The original package uploaded to main was created with -sa option. The
orig.tar.gz source package was accepted. Thanks to ftp-master, it seems
it was adjusted by manually later. But old 2.6.3-2 package is still in
unstable of non-free although 2.7.0-2 is in unstable of main. This
awkward situation seems to cause problem to dak and rejecting valid
upload.
I think next step for making this transition is to remove ipadic packages in
unstable and testing of non-free.
Then 2.7.0-3 fixing RC bug may be accepted :-)
Thanks for your help.

FYI: Another package with recent non-free -> main change
osamu@ries:~$ dak l mozc
mozc | 1.2.855.102-1 | testing/non-free | source
mozc | 1.2.855.102-2 | unstable | source (This was first main)
mozc | 1.2.855.102-3 | unstable | source
