Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Dear Release Team,
I think I might need your help for a testing migration of some golang
packages, which did get stuck with circular dependencies. Those packages
are all from the same upstream and are sometimes interdependent.
To make matters worse, the last upload (in testing) is more than a year
old, and therefore the autopkgtest fails with the new versions in unstable.
The packages are in the golang-github-charmbracelet-* family.
The "central" package seems to be this one:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/golang-github-charmbracelet-x
As you can see, it would migrate after two new packages,
golang-github-charmbracelet-colorprofile and
golang-github-charmbracelet-ultraviolet. However, the first one
(-colorprofile) would itself migrate after
golang-github-charmbracelet-x, so this is a circular dependency.
Moreover, the package golang-github-charmbracelet-x cannot migrate due
to autopkgtest failures in two other packages in testing,
golang-github-charmbracelet-bubbletea and
golang-github-charmbracelet-huh, which are both too old to cope with the
new golang-github-charmbracelet-x package.
I think it might help to add a hint for britney to allow the testing
migration once the packages have reached the required age for transitioning.
In retrospect, this might have been a case for a formal transition,
coordinated by you from the start. However, I did not expect this mess
to happen and just uploaded to unstable. I'm really sorry about that. I
hope we can sort this out without too much work on your side.
Regards,
Tobias

If I understand this correctly, I need to add this to golang-github-
charmbracelet-x:
Breaks: golang-github-charmbracelet-bubbletea (<< 1.3.10),
golang-github-charmbracelet-huh (<< 0.8.0)
Would that be enough to get the packages unstuck?
Well, the Breaks (like other relations like Depends) is a relation
between binary packages so it needs to point to binary packages, not
their source packages.
Right -- I did write the correct binary package into d/control, but did
not copy it into the mail and wrote it again, missing the -dev suffix.
Anyway, uploaded now. I'm closing this bug and keep an eye on the
testing migration. Thanks again for your quick help!

Tobias
