Requested Action
----------------
Please remove byte-buddy 1.12.21-1 from lunar-proposed.
Then we can sync the older 1.11.22-1.
Once it's built and published, we can sync 1.12.21-1 again.

Original Report
---------------
The latest version of byte-buddy (1.12.21-1) synced from Debian currently fails to build on Ubuntu Lunar [1]. Build requirements cannot be met because of libbyte-buddy-java (>= 1.11.22) which is built from the same source package.

Looking at the recent changelog, it seems like each new version of this
package now build depends on the previous version:

byte-buddy (1.12.21-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Team upload.
  * Remove the precompiled classes from the upstream tarball
  * Regenerate the precompiled classes
  * New upstream release
    - Refreshed the patches
    - Depend on libbyte-buddy-java (>= 1.11.22)

  * New upstream release
    - Refreshed the patches
    - Depend on libbyte-buddy-java (>= 1.11.4)

byte-buddy (1.11.4-1) unstable; urgency=medium

(For completeness, see [2])

While required, this should be enough to avoid circular dependencies, if
each version is built in order. However, lunar-release currently
contains 1.11.4-1 which is not new enough to satisfy the requirement for
1.12.21-1. Since only the latest version was synced automatically, this
introduced the problems because the in-between version was newer built
and is thus unavailable.

I suppose this issue would be resolved by either
a) building each individual version in order, or
b) bootstrap the latest version

That would fix the problem for now, though there's always the risk of
similar problems in the future if two new releases appear in short order
and only the latest one is synced to Ubuntu.
