Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal Dear members of the release team,
The package expeyes which I maintain is affected repeatedly by announcements telling that "expeyes is marked for autoremoval from testing", ... on 2020-09-16, due to the fact that it is supposed to (build-)depend on binutils-avr, which FTBFS. I presume that it might be some false positive detection. Here is the list of its build-dependencies: debhelper-compat (=12), python3-all, dh-python, python3-docutils, pkg-config, wxglade, x11proto-randr-dev (>= 1.5.0), pyqt5-dev-tools, qttools5-dev-tools, qt5-qmake as far as I know, none of them is related with binutils-avr. The source package expeyes generates one binary package, microhope, which declares a dependency on avr-libc; should I downgrade this dependency down to a recommendation? The binary package microhope does not need binutils-avr as it is mainly an editor for small C or assembly language snippets. It needs binutils-avr only when the end user will try to compile and link one one the edited snippets. Thank you in advance for any feedback. Best regards, Georges. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers stable APT policy: (900, 'stable'), (499, 'testing'), (400, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
