Source: plplot Version: 5.15.0+dfsg2-6 Severity: serious Control: close -1 5.15.0+dfsg2-7+deb13u1 X-Debbugs-CC: debian-m...@lists.debian.org Tags: sid trixie User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: out-of-sync
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:plplot has been trying to migrate for 34 days [2]. Hence, I am filing this bug. The package Build-Depends on patchelf, which has a build issue on mips64el (bug #1059752). Unfortunately patchelf is a key package, and saw a new version in the time that mips64el was allowed to be broken, so currently patchelf doesn't exist on mips64el in testing. This is impacting your package. I think that for the time being it's probably easiest to request removal of your package on mips64el. Alternatively you try to help fix the bug in patchelf (I've CC'd the mips porters to draw their attention to the problem too).
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.
This bug will trigger auto-removal when appropriate. As with all new bugs, there will be at least 30 days before the package is auto-removed.
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 trixie, 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.
