Hi Rafael,
You have tagged this RC bug as wontfix. Unfortunately:
* An RC bug is still an RC bug even if it is tagged wontfix. E.g.
it still counts against the Stretch release.
=> It needs either a resolution or a downgrade.
I do not know all the details of the bug, so I am possibly not the best
to give advice on how to deal with this case. That said:
* If this is caused by following a proper oldoldstable => oldstable =>
stable and octave packages simply failed to properly ensure the
removal of the package being replaced, then the bug is valid and
open.
=> In this case consider backporting a fix to Jessie for 8.2.
* If we are dealing with a "oldoldstable => stable" jump without
upgrading to oldstable first, then it is a known unsupported case and
the bug can be closed.
=> If desired, you /might/ still be able to get a backported fix
approved for Jessie. Though I am not sure if the SRMs agree on
this.
Thanks,
~Niels
