[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#969609: rust-zstd: unbuildable, uninstallable, depends on non-existent rust-zstd-safe

[Peter Michael Green]

> The rust-zstd package has both a dependency and a build-dependency on
> librust-zstd-safe-2.0.3+experimental-dev, which does not exist anywhere in
> Debian.  Presumably it would be built by a rust-zstd-safe package, but no

Specifically looking through the mailing list archives.

rust-zstd-sys, rust-zstd-safe and rust-zstd were all uploaded
to NEW in mid January 2020. In late Febuary 2020 the ftpmasters
processed the uploads, zstd was accepted but zstd-sys and zstd-safe
were rejected.

zstd-sys and zstd-safe were re-uploaded to new in march 2020
and rejected again in may 2020.

zstd-sys was once-again uploaded to NEW in october 2020
and this time was accepted. At around the same time a
source-only upload of zstd was also made, but zstd-safe
was not touched.

The route to fixing rust-zstd, thus involves fixing the ftpmaster's
objection to the previous upload, checking the package for
any other such issues and if-so fixing them and then re-uploading
it. The reject mail can be found at
