Bug#928892: heimdall-flash: package appears to be a salvaging candidate
Dear Steve Langasek and contributors to these threads, Steve, are you still interested in maintaining this package? Heimdall-flash has not seen an update since 2016, and Bug #872788 requesting an update to 1.4.2 has not received a reply from the maintainer for almost two years. Bug #874915 notes the issue of qt4 removal, which further highlights the necessity of packaging 1.4.2, which has qt5 support. I believe this package meets the criteria for salvaging: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch05.en.html#package-salvaging François Etcheverry (see debian-mentors archive for "Bug#928892: RFS: heimdall-flash/1.4.2-1") appears to be a new contributor who is still unfamiliar with Debian process, is probably not yet using a good MUA and is thus struggling with the BTS. Finally, he's definitely is not familiar with the salvaging process, given that there is not yet an ITS bug against this package. I hope to see him learn the necessary processes, and learn how to use the necessary tools during the Bullseye release cycle. At this time I believe that he will need the support of a comaintainer, mentor, and sponsor to proceed with an ITS, and I fear we will lose a potential long-term contributor if he does find this support. François, using the "reportbug" program against sponsorship-requests, and then using the Debian Mentors template to fill in the body would have prevented the problems at #928892. Also, you need to figure out what caused all of your newlines to be eaten... I suspect it's not something as simple as using an editor that soft-wraps lines, but whatever the cause for this malfunctioning, it will cause you unnecessary work as it malinteracts with the BTS. Finally, are you interested in learning everything that is required to maintain heimdall-flash long-term, or is your RFS a one-time contribution?

While the later does not make much sense it won't cause any harm either. Thanks for pushing that fix forward. Sven

See the discussion in bug #907020 [1] for all details. The short version is that in August 2018 Christian introduced new autopkgtest tests in 1.18-2 which didn't work due to lack of root access. #907020 was opened as a result and Christian made the fix during the same day in Salsa. However, for some reason, that fix was never uploaded. Last week the severity of #907020 was changed from normal to serious placing the package to the autoremoval queue. As I wasn't able to get in touch with Christian, I concluded that doing a NMU for the changes he had already made in Salsa would be the right thing to do. That's why the policy bump is to version 4.2.1 as I didn't want to mix in any of my own changes. I'm hoping that Christian would continue as maintainer of this package but he appears to be inactive right now and I haven't managed to get in contact via email or IRC.

Running that command inside an VirtualBox VM caused the error.
