+1 Maintenance Report

[William Wilson]

Greetings ubuntu-devel,

This week I was on +1 maintenance and I noticed an odd circular dependency
between two packages.

   - Package golang-github-jackc-pgtype is in NEW and is dependency wait on
   golang-github-jackc-pgx-v4-dev.
   - Package golang-github-jackc-pgx-v4-dev is a new binary package to be
   built from src:golang-github-jackc-pgx as it migrates from major version v3
   to v4.
   - src:golang-github-jackc-pgx can not build any v4 binaries without
   golang-github-jackc-pgtype-dev, which is built from
   src:golang-github-jackc-pgtype


The TL;DR of this is that src:golang-github-jackc-pgtype cannot build
without binaries from src:golang-github-jackc-pgx, which cannot build
without binaries from src:golang-github-jackc-pgtype, and thus there is a
circular dependency.

Are there any methods for dealing with this type of circular dependency? In
Debian I can see they did a binary-only upload to fix this, but as far as I
know there is no such thing in Ubuntu. I briefly thought about combining
the packages, but that is not idea for a few reasons:


   1. It breaks our golang-github-<username>-<repo> packaging convention.
   2. It would install possibly un-needed source code on people's machines
   if they install the combined package but really only needed one.

Now for the report of things I was able to solve: I usually focus mainly on
failed tests, but I noticed there were quite a few FTBFS packages, so I
decided to focus on those.

libdigidoc - openssl v3 related regression. This is fixed in Ubuntu and I
have created a QA upload for Debian. This will be sponsored by ginggs.

rinutils - filed https://launchpad.net/bugs/1980243 and
https://bugs.debian.org/1014169 to explain that it needs new dependencies
packaged

golang-github-masterminds-sprig - I fixed a regression in this package
which unblocked:
    * golang-step-crypto
    * golang-step-cli-utils
    * golang-github-smallstep-certificates
Thanks to seb128 for helping shepherd some of these binary packages through
the NEW queue

golang-oras-oras-go - Fixed a regression in Ubuntu and forwarded to Debian

golang-mongodb-mongo-driver - Fixed a regression in Ubuntu (and forwarded
to Debian) which unblocks:
    * golang-github-go-openapi-strfmt
    * golang-github-go-openapi-validate
    * golang-github-go-openapi-runtime

golang-github-openshift-imagebuilder: Fixed regression in Ubuntu and
forwarded to Debian

scamper - Fixed a regression in Ubuntu and forwarded to Debian

Thank you for reading,
