Sorry for the trouble caused by my upload of
golang-github-nicksnyder-go-i18n (2.1.1-1).
I thought no more package depends on golang-github-nicksnyder-go-i18n
v1 any longer,
with its sole reverse dependency golang-gopkg-alecthomas-kingpin.v3 no
longer needed
by any other package, and since golang-gopkg-alecthomas-kingpin.v3 is
essentially
abandoned upstream, I was planning to file a request to FTP masters to remove
golang-gopkg-alecthomas-kingpin.v3 from Debian altogether.
I did do a reverse dependency check, but somehow missed the fact that
prometheus-postfix-exporter still depended on
golang-gopkg-alecthomas-kingpin.v3-dev.
And of course, I totally missed the fact that
golang-github-nicksnyder-go-i18n.v2 already exists.
Anyhow, I am working on fixing the current situation, and here is the plan:
1. Upload golang-gopkg-alecthomas-kingpin.v2 (2.2.6-2)
* Add github.com/alecthomas/kingpin to XS-Go-Import-Path
* debian/links: Add usr/share/gocode/src/github.com/alecthomas/kingpin
as a symlink to usr/share/gocode/src/gopkg.in/alecthomas/kingpin.v2
2. Change prometheus-postfix-exporter to build-depend on
golang-gopkg-alecthomas-kingpin.v2-dev instead kingpin.v3
as per https://github.com/kumina/postfix_exporter/blob/master/go.mod ,
coincidentally fixing this FTBFS bug.
3. Upload golang-gopkg-alecthomas-kingpin.v3 with the symlink
usr/share/gocode/src/github.com/alecthomas/kingpin removed
because it now belongs to golang-gopkg-alecthomas-kingpin.v2
4. Upgrade golang-github-nicksnyder-go-i18n.v2 to 2.2.1,
and merge my recent work on golang-github-nicksnyder-go-i18n to it.
5. Change hugo to build-depend on golang-github-nicksnyder-go-i18n.v2
6. Ask the FTP Masters to remove golang-gopkg-alecthomas-kingpin.v3
and golang-github-nicksnyder-go-i18n from sid and testing
as neither package would be used by any other packages once
Steps 1 to 5 are completed.
Cheers,
Anthony Fok
