[Pkg-privacy-maintainers] Bug#911272: RM: python-txtorcon -- NBS; decruft

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi,

The source package txtorcon no longer builds the binary package
python-txtorcon. The binary package is still in archive and was not
auto-decrufted. Removing the package breakds two other packages:

|bigeasy at coccia:~$ dak rm -Rnb python-txtorcon
|Will remove the following packages from unstable:
|
|python-txtorcon |   18.0.2-1 | all
|
|Maintainer: Debian Privacy Tools Maintainers <pkg-privacy-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>
|
|------------------- Reason -------------------
|
|----------------------------------------------
|
|Checking reverse dependencies...
|# Broken Depends:
|ooniprobe/contrib: ooniprobe
|
|# Broken Build-Depends:
|foolscap: python-txtorcon
|ooniprobe/contrib: python-txtorcon (>= 0.14.2)
|
|Dependency problem found.

Both packages have a RC bug open:
- #909866 ooniprobe: (Build-) Depends on vanished package python-txtorcon
- #911271 foolscap: (Build) Depends on non existing python-txtorcon

python-txtorcon itself can't be installed in unstable anymore (#905253)
so I doubt it makes sense to wait until the two packages get fixed.
It seems that BTS things that #905253 is still open because the package
is in archive and piuparts tests with the old binary and fails. I think
this is the reason why the package can't migrate to testing. I don't
understand however why the package does not pop up in the cruft report.
