[DRE-maint] Bug#1079724: src:thin: fails to migrate to testing for too long: unresolved RC bug

[Paul Gevers]

Source: thin
Version: 1.8.1-2
Severity: serious
Control: close -1 1.8.2-1
Tags: sid trixie
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: out-of-sync
Control: block -1 by 1078358

Dear maintainer(s),

The Release Team considers packages that are out-of-sync between testing 
and unstable for more than 30 days as having a Release Critical bug in 
testing [1]. Your package src:thin has been trying to migrate for 31 
days [2]. Hence, I am filing this bug.

The version in unstable has an unresolved RC bug 1078358. As this 
package built only a couple of days earlier and it rebuild on the 
reproducible build infrastructure, I wonder if that bug is indicating a 
flaky test.

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 trixie, 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
