Hi,

We’d like to prepare the symfony transition. It’s building over a
hundred arch:all binary packages, that are (in)directly used by a few
hundred other arch:all packages. Given the increased number of related
packages, and because the last symfony 5 transition was not as smooth as
previous ones, we’re opening a bug even if no package builds need to be
handled by the Release Team (but maybe some removals may help at some
point).

The experimental pseudo-excuse page is unfortunately not very
informative about the amount of breakages we could expect, so Athos
rebuilt reverse build-dependencies with mass-rebuild. Yet this doesn’t
catch uninstallable packages, e.g., phpmyadmin and php-laravel-framework
in their current state, depending on php-symfony-$stuff (<< 6~~).

https://people.ubuntu.com/~athos-ribeiro/rebuilds/symfony6/index.html

Do you have a way to spot packages in Sid currently depending on
symfony (<< 6~) in order to file bugs and eventually provide patches?

I hope we can have soon enough a view of the amount of breakage in order
to hopefully kick this transition during DebCamp…

Regards

David
