Bug#1033442: unblock: golang-go.opencensus/0.24.0-1

[Anthony Fok]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.d...@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
X-Debbugs-Cc: golang-go....@packages.debian.org, debi...@lists.debian.org, fo...@debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:golang-go.opencensus

Please unblock package golang-go.opencensus/0.24.0-1

packer/1.6.6+ds1-7 in testing has an RC bug (#1032525) and is scheduled
for autoremoval on 2023-04-06. The fix was uploaded by its maintainer
Shengjing Zhu in packer/1.6.6+ds2-1 on 2023-03-13, but it is currently
prevented from migrating to testing to due to being blocked by its
indirect dependency on golang-go.opencensus.

My apologies for my untimely upload of golang-go.opencensus/0.24.0-1
on 2023-03-09, assuming that it would enter testing automatically
after 20 days, not knowing that it is a key package that would require
a manual unblock.

Risks of upgrading from 0.23.0 to 0.24.0 is minimal, as the changes
consist of minor bug fixes with a small addition to the API.
ratt finds 89 packages with direct or indirect dependency on
golang-go.opencensus and is able to build all of them with
with golang-go.opencensus/0.24.0-1 smoothly with no hiccup.

[ Checklist ]
[x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in testing

unblock golang-go.opencensus/0.24.0-1

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,

Clarification: Out of the 89 packages, 4 failed but not due to
golang-go.opencensus:

FAILED: cadvisor (see buildlogs/cadvisor_0.38.7+ds1-2)
FAILED: golang-github-prometheus-common
(see buildlogs/golang-github-prometheus-common_0.15.0-2)
FAILED: nomad (see buildlogs/nomad_0.12.10+dfsg1-3)
FAILED: nomad-driver-podman (see buildlogs/nomad-driver-podman_0.1.0-2)

3 of them, cadvisor, nomad and nomad-driver-podman are currently FTBFS
in the archive and are not in "testing".

As for golang-github-prometheus-common_0.15.0-2, ratt picked the wrong
version in stable (bullseye) instead of 0.39.0-2 in sid.
Apparently, ratt's dependency dose-ceve does not handle the multiple
"same Package, different Version" entries in the source list
and simply picks the first one:

$ grep -A2 '^Package: golang-github-prometheus-common' \
/var/lib/apt/lists/deb.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_main_source_Sources
Package: golang-github-prometheus-common
Binary: golang-github-prometheus-common-dev
Version: 0.15.0-2
--
Package: golang-github-prometheus-common
Binary: golang-github-prometheus-common-dev
Version: 0.39.0-2

So, while this erroneous sbuild command fails:
sbuild --arch-all --dist=unstable --nolog \
golang-github-prometheus-common_0.15.0-2 \
--extra-package=../golang-go.opencensus-dev_0.24.0-1_all.deb

the correct sbuild command pointing to the correct version in sid passes:
sbuild --arch-all --dist=unstable --nolog \
golang-github-prometheus-common_0.39.0-2 \
--extra-package=../golang-go.opencensus-dev_0.24.0-1_all.deb

So, yes, it is perfectly safe to upgrade golang-go.opencensus 0.23.0-4
to 0.24.0-1.

Many thanks!
