Control: affects -1 + src:r-cran-rgdal
Hi,
as explained by upstream as response in our bug report[1] r-cran-rgdal
is not supported upstream any more. In bug #1055589 a conflict to the
upcoming GDAL 3.8.0 is stated. So for the moment r-cran-rgdal is
blocking the GDAL migration from experimental to unstable and even if
this problem is ignored bug #1055589 will become RC with no hope to get
it fixed.
For the moment there is a single reference inside the package pool to
this package. R-cran-rgdal is suggested by r-cran-satellite which is
due to the automatic generation of dependencies by dh-r. I'd prefer to
wait until r-cran-rgdal is removed and than regenerate the
r-cran-satellite to get this dependency fixed over fiddling around
manually with the control file.
So I consider it save to remove r-cran-rgdal from unstable.
Kind regards and thanks for your work as ftpmaster
Andreas.
