[Debian-in-workers] Bug#953177: src:aspell-pa: fails to migrate to testing for too long

[Paul Gevers]

Source: aspell-pa
Version: 0.01-1-5
Severity: serious
Control: fixed -1 0.01-1-6
Tags: sid bullseye pending
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: out-of-sync

Dear maintainer(s),

As recently announced [1], the Release Team now considers packages that
are out-of-sync between testing and unstable for more than 60 days as
having a Release Critical bug in testing. Your package src:aspell-pa in
its current version in unstable has been trying to migrate for 236 days.
Hence, I am filing this bug.

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 marked the version in unstable as fixing this bug, 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 bullseye, so
it doesn't affect (old-)stable.

Because the only issue with the version of your package in unstable is
that you uploaded an arch:all binary (which isn't allowed anymore to
migrate to testing, but unfortunately can't be binNMU'ed), I will
shortly do a source-only upload to DELAYED/15, closing this bug.

Paul
