[pkg-go] Bug#1017728: src:restic: fails to migrate to testing for too long: new Build-Depends fails to migrate to testing

[Paul Gevers]

Source: restic
Version: 0.12.1-2
Severity: serious
Control: close -1 0.13.1-1
Tags: sid bookworm
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 60 days as having a Release Critical bug in 
testing [1]. Your package src:restic has been trying to migrate for 62 
days [2]. Hence, I am filing this bug. Your package has a new 
Build-Depends that was stuck in unstable because it wasn't build on a 
buildd. To fix that, I did a no-change source-only upload. However, that 
is now stuck because it fails its own autopkgtests on some architectures.

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 bookworm, 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
