[R-pkg-team] Bug#1027929: src:r-cran-xts: fails to migrate to testing for too long: autopkgtest regression

[Paul Gevers]

Source: r-cran-xts
Version: 0.12.1-1
Severity: serious
Control: close -1 0.12.2-1
Tags: sid bookworm
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: out-of-sync
Control: block -1 by 1024012

Dear maintainer(s),

The Release Team considers packages that are out-of-sync between testing 
and unstable for more than 60 days as having a Release Critical bug in 
testing [1]. Your package src:r-cran-xts has been trying to migrate for 
61 days [2]. Hence, I am filing this bug. The migration is blocked by an 
autopkgtest regression reported in bug 1024012.

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 bookworm, 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
