The excuses shows peony blocked by qtbase-opensource-src which it's beyond my 
contorl,
and the peony and peony-extensions will been auto removedon 2024-04-07, how to 
deal with this?


As this is part of the time_t transition and it *seems* the issue will 
go away once the time_t transition migrates without changes in peony, I 
have downgraded the severity while setting the time_t usertag for future 
reference.

Bug#1064533: src:peony: fails to migrate to testing for too long: new Build-Depends not available everywhere

Source: peony
Version: 3.2.4-2
Severity: serious
Control: close -1 4.0.0.0-1
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:peony has been trying to migrate for 31 
days [2]. Hence, I am filing this bug. The version in unstable 
apparently has a new Build-Depends. It's not available on armel, armhf, 
i386, mips64el and ppc64el. If the Build-Depends can't be worked around, 
you'll need to request binary removals from those architectures from 
unstable $(reportbug ftp.debian.org).


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.


Paul
