Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: pcre2 at packages.debian.org, glib2.0 at packages.debian.org

pcre2 can't migrate until the recent binNMU of glib2.0 (#1146418) also 
migrates, because the old glib2.0 fails its autopkgtest with the new 
pcre2. When compiled with the old pcre2, the GRegex test suite is unable 
to expect a new error code that was only introduced by the new pcre2.

I believe this results in a circular dependency, because the binNMU'd 
glib2.0 fixes the autopkgtest regression but picks up a dependency on 
the new pcre2, so the glib2.0 binNMU can't migrate until the new pcre2 
does.

Please could the release team hint these two packages to be tested and 
migrated together, or temporarily ignore the glib2.0 autopkgtest failure 
so that they can both migrate?

Thanks,
