If people care about getting GEOS 3.6.2 into Ubuntu bionic, they need to prod the Ubuntu developers to update the shark package to 3.1.4+ds1-1. Ubuntu has diverged from Debian by applying Ubuntu specific changes which block autosync from Debian. [0] shark (3.1.4+ds1-1) is required to build OTB successfully with GCC 7. otb (6.2.0+dfsg-2) is stuck in proposed because it FTBFS due to assuming shark supports GCC 7 now, as it does in Debian. The patches in otb (6.2.0+dfsg-2) are required to build successfully with OSSIM 2.2.0. ossim (2.2.1-1) is still in proposed because britney is waiting for autopkgtest results [1]. The missing otb builds are likely to block migration of ossim (2.2.1-1) too.
