advise.


Although I'm not 100% sure, I think that cases like this are 
imperfections in our upgrade system. I believe that we started to care 
much more about partial upgrades since we started using autopkgtest, but 
I don't think we have the means (apart for always tightening relations 
and giving up much of the flexibility we so much appreciate) to fix skew 
in a mechanical way (particularly in transitions and our use of 
binNMUs), hence I think it's OK to occasionally let this happen currently.


I have rescheduled the failing tests with octave from unstable, which 
should automatically resolve the migration blocker. (There are several 
conditions where britney2 already does this trick automatically and 
where potential broken partial upgrades are not prevented either, so 
this is matching status quo).

The transition is mostly complete.

The only remaining issue is an autopkgtest failure of octave in
testing, reported as #1056392.

I’ve argued there that this issue only affects partial upgrades, and
that I’m not sure how to fix it (if fixing is needed at all). Please
advise.

Dear Release Team,

Please schedule a transition for suitesparse 7.3, which currently sits in
experimental.

One the shared libraries got a SOVERSION bump (libcholmod4 → libcholmod5). The
ABI change is minor and I’m therefore fairly confident that there won’t be any
issue.

Thanks for your work,
