I didn't see this commit; I likely assumed you would followup to the bug explicitly and the lack of automatic "pending" is likely due to "(Closes #944258)" vs. "(Closes: #944258)" with the colon.

The BTS never switched to pending, presumably due to the version restriction via 'found'. Or, do I need to backport the patch to that specific version? Kind regards, Felix Lechner

Hi, > lintian 2.32.0~bpo9+1 in stretch-backports depends on coreutils > (>= 8.30), but stretch has only 8.26-3 I'd like to resolve this issue and as a new upload of coreutils seems to be neither warranted, 100% essential and (practically-speaking) forthcoming, I would request that we do whatever we need to do to weaken this dependency.

Bug#944258: lintian 2.32.0~bpo9+1 in stretch-backports depends on coreutils (>= 8.30), but stretch has only 8.26-3
Hi Michael, what is your opinion on a backport of coreutils 8.30-3 to stretch? Background: lintian recently bumped the dependency to coreutils (>= 8.30) because it uses some newer feature, breaking its backport to stretch. (#944258) I could build it on stretch(+stretch-backports?) without needing to do any changes to the package and I'm running this on a single machine (running stretch with a selected set of packages from backports, buster and sid) without having encountered problems so far. But I'd prefer not to take the responsibility of doing an official backport of a core package like coreutils. IMO this would be better done by you (as coreutils maintainer) or the lintian maintainers (since this is needed for the lintian backport). Andreas

I did just release Lintian prior to this change, but I do not understand the frequency that Christoph's checks his email has any bearing here. Can you elaborate? I suspect I'm missing something.

Hi, The version requirement was dropped: https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/commit/33bd1434f0c160770a26bea55328e5bf7545322f Since Christoph receives emails every six hours, a new release may be in order.

I am personally on stable, but most > package maintainers out there seem to track testing or the bleeding > edge, unstable. sbuild recently started running lintian by default. Since the apt.postgresql.org build host was upgraded from stretch to buster, lintian is now running in every chroot. I forgot why I upgraded the lintian version in the stretch chroot to the one from stretch-backports, but that's we are now, and at the moment I get reminded every 6 hours via failing jenkins jobs that this package can't upgrade.

Backporting such a big package (with likely lots of other changes) does not seem particularly conservative (or even safe) thing to do. > Also, as a side note, would someone please explain why someone still > on stretch would need lintian? We will obviously drop supporting stretch eventually but I'm not sure that time has come just yet. LTS work is just one example. Also, stretch chroots/Docker images on CI systems, etc. etc. Not everybody is using Lintian the way you are. :) Regards, -- ,''`. : :' : Chris Lamb `. `'` la...@debian.org 🍥 chris-lamb.co.uk `-

Yes, we probably can but I would like to understand, please, why coreutils 8.30 (which, according to Andreas Beckmann, builds cleanly in stretch) cannot find its way into stretch-bpo. Also, as a side note, would someone please explain why someone still on stretch would need lintian? I am personally on stable, but most package maintainers out there seem to track testing or the bleeding edge, unstable. Kind regards, Felix Lechner

Thanks for the feedback. > For details, please have a look at the PS here: > > https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=943910#25 I'm not sure if that means that backport is really going to appear in stretch-backports. My build chroots for stretch are broken at the moment, it would really be nice if this could either be carried forward rsn, or the lintian backport upgrade be reverted. Christoph
