Dear maintainer(s),


[...]

The Release Team considers packages that are out-of-sync between testing and unstable for more than 30 days as having a Release Critical bug in testing [1]. Your package src:manpages has been trying to migrate for 59 days [2]. Hence, I am filing this bug. The version in unstable has an unresolved RC bug (#1072158) and one of its Build-Depends isn't in testing and can't migrate.

Hi Marcos,





Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 13), groff (>= 1.23.0), mandoc

I've seen that you've added quite a lot of new packages to the Build-Depends of manpages, therefore the migration to testing is currently not possible (due to missing Build-Depends in testing). The list of packages in Build-Depends changed considerably between manpages 6.05.01-1 and manpages 6.7-1 from Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 13), groff (>= 1.23.0), groff-base, bsdextrautils, bzip2, binutils, clang, clang-tidy, cpp, cppcheck, cpplint, diffoscope, git, iwyu, lzip, man, mandoc, moreutils, pkgconf, xz-utils I couldn't find any explanation in the commit messages or debian/changelog. What's the reason for all those additional dependencies? Can't we get rid of them? I don't see how they are needed for building the package.
