[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1063800: src:pinfish: fails to migrate to testing for too long: not installable on armel, armhf and i386

[Paul Gevers]

Source: pinfish
Version: 0.1.0+ds-3
Severity: serious
Control: close -1 0.1.0+ds-4

User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: out-of-sync

Dear maintainer(s),

The Release Team considers packages that are out-of-sync between testing 
and unstable for more than 30 days as having a Release Critical bug in 
testing [1]. Your package src:pinfish has been trying to migrate for 31 
days [2]. Hence, I am filing this bug. It seem the version in unstable 
isn't installable on our 32 bit architectures. It seems like the version 
in testing doesn't have binaries on these architectures, while the 
buildd history shows they were built for the previous version, so you 
probably had them removed. You probably need to do this again, but I 
suggest to add a Build-Depends on racon to prevent accidental builds on 
architectures where racon isn't available (and thus the package becomes 
not installable).

If a package is out of sync between unstable and testing for a longer 
period, this usually means that bugs in the package in testing cannot be 
fixed via unstable. Additionally, blocked packages can have impact on 
other packages, which makes preparing for the release more difficult. 
Finally, it often exposes issues with the package and/or
its (reverse-)dependencies. We expect maintainers to fix issues that 
hamper the migration of their package in a timely manner.

This bug will trigger auto-removal when appropriate. As with all new 
bugs, there will be at least 30 days before the package is auto-removed.

I have immediately closed this bug with the version in unstable, so if 
that version or a later version migrates, this bug will no longer affect 
testing. I have also tagged this bug to only affect sid and trixie, so 
it doesn't affect (old-)stable.

If you believe your package is unable to migrate to testing due to 
issues beyond your control, don't hesitate to contact the Release Team.

Paul
