[Python-modules-team] Bug#964886: src:paramiko: fails to migrate to testing for too long: unresolved RC bug

[Paul Gevers]

Source: paramiko
Version: 2.6.0-2
Severity: serious
Control: close -1 2.7.1-1
Tags: sid bullseye
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: out-of-sync
Control: block -1 by 960899

Dear maintainer(s),

As recently announced [1], the Release Team now considers packages that
are out-of-sync between testing and unstable for more than 60 days as
having a Release Critical bug in testing. Your package src:paramiko in
its current version in unstable has been trying to migrate for 60 days
[2]. Hence, I am filing this bug.

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 bullseye, 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
