• failing to properly close serious bug; impacting migration to testing

    From Joost van =?utf-8?Q?Baal-Ili=C4=87?@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jan 1 10:00:01 2025
    Hi,

    At https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/pwdsphinx
    it says: "Updating pwdsphinx would introduce bugs in testing: #1090262" .

    And at https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/pyequihash it says: "Marked for autoremoval on 14 January: #1090264" .

    However, afaiu, both https://bugs.debian.org/1090262 and https://bugs.debian.org/1090264 are closed.

    (They are about "FTBFS: ValueError: Unable to find libequihash", which was fixed in the libequihash 1.0.10-2 upload at december 15; I closed the bugs manually after that.)

    What can I do to make sure both src:pwdsphinx and src:pyequihash will get shipped with upcoming trixie release? What am I missing here?

    Thanks! Bye,

    Joost

    Best thing is of course to close bugs via debian/changelog.

    In this case, you need to tell the BTS when the bug has been fixed, for
    example by "bts fixed 1090262 1.99.2-beta-5", assuming your last upload.


    1090264:
    The bug is filed against src:pyequihash, but fixed in src:pwdsphinx/1.99.2-beta-2? Is this intentional?
    1090264#20 indicates it is not, so please fix the meta data
    and hint the bts about the right version it has been fixed, like shown
    above.

    The "done" status of a bug report almost never matters, to tools or to
    people.
    And tools like the migration and autoremoval ones care whether a bug is
    fixed in a given release, which is easily seen on the graph on the bug
    report page.

    (They are about "FTBFS: ValueError: Unable to find libequihash", which was fixed in the libequihash 1.0.10-2 upload at december 15; I closed the bugs manually after that.)

    Closing bugs manually requires a lot of understanding how all of this
    works.
    You tried to mark both 1090262 and 1090264 as fixed in various packages
    that either don't exist or are not the package that the bug was reported against, so the packages remained to be marked as buggy.
    It seems that you did this because the bug was not in the packages those reports were filed against but in a different package. The reports
    describe this possibility and the correct way to deal with this:
    "If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use
    reassign and affects, so that this is still visible in the BTS web
    page for this package." If this was done, the bug reports would be
    correctly closed by the upload that fixed the bug itself.

    Hi,

    Thank you Tobias, Gianfranco and Andrey for your insightfull comments. Both Tobias and Gianfranco have changed the bug status (thanks for that!); I'll wait a day to see if this fixed the issue. If not, I expect I am now able to clean my mess myself.

    Bye,

    Joost

    Hello, looks fixed now,
    indeed one of the bugs was marking the same version as affected and fixed, so confusing BTS

    A, that explains! Thanks for checking again.

    Take care, Bye,

    Joost
