This week I did my +1 maintenance shift.  I got sidetracked a few times
due to some urgent requests/tasks.  Also, due to the size of
autopkgtests.u.c's queue I decided to focus on old FTBFSes.

Investigations
==============

* pspp
  - In -proposed for 219 days.
  - armhf is FTBFSing due to a module mismatch error.
  - https://bugs.launchpad.net/pspp/+bug/1979610 has been filed.
  - Upstream also has http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?63392.
  - Filed https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1030827
  - I tagged the LP bug as "update-excuse", but haven't spent much more
    time on it.

* mmc-utils
  - In -proposed for 187 days.
  - ppc64el is FTBFSing due to a bogus -Werror=maybe-uninitialized
  - Filed...
  - Curiously, Nick Rosbrook and I worked on this bug at the same time
    without knowing.  Fortunately, upstream already has the fix and we
    both suggested the backport.
  - Uploaded in Ubuntu.  Debian bug:
    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1030829

* sbcl
  - In -proposed for 93 days.
  - FTBFS on arm64 due to LTO
  - Filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sbcl/+bug/2006524
  - Debian bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1015656
  - Uploaded fix to Ubuntu.

* gatb-core
  - Debian dropped s390x from the list of supported architectures.
  - Pinged ubuntu-archive and asked them to reflect this decision so
    that britney lets the package migrate.

* libcleri
  - In -proposed for 94 days.
  - Affected by https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1020507
  - Attempting a no-change rebuild of siridb-server.  According to the
    bug above, this should make siridb-server's dep8 tests pass and
    libcleri migrate.

* php-laravel-lumen-framework & php-slim
  - In -proposed for 86 and 94 days, respectively.
  - These packages should be removed from Lunar.  They have bugs filed
    for that (with ubuntu-archive subscribed), so I marked them as
    Triaged (as suggested by xnox) in the hopes that it helps moving the
    request forward.

* emacs-non-dfsg
  - In -proposed for 94 days.
  - Depends on emacs >= 28.1, which isn't available in Ubuntu yet.
  - I merged emacs 28.1 from Debian unstable.
  - I also merged dh-elpa 2.0.16.
  - Rebuilt evil-el.

* flycheck
  - FTBFS with emacs 28.1.  Uncovered this issue while merging emacs
    28.1 from Debian unstable.
  - Filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flycheck/+bug/2006963
  - Uploaded a build1 version to explicitly trigger the FTBFS.

* cssutils
  - In -proposed for 95 days.
  - FTBFS due to incompatibilities with Python 3.x.
  - Debian bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1026728
  - Filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cssutils/+bug/2006741
  - Upstream is apparently dead; I couldn't find a bug tracker to report this.

* bcbio & mosdepth & nim-{unicodeplus,regex}
  - In -proposed for 95 days.
  - bcbio is FTBFSing because it B-D on mosdepth.
  - mosdepth is FTBFSing because it B-D on nim-regex.
  - nim-regex and its B-D nim-unicodeplus were removed because they B-D
    on nim, which (at the time) failed to build with openssl3.
  - nim now builds successfully.
  - I syncrequest'ed nim-{unicodeplus,regex}.

* quorum
  - In -proposed for 198 days.
  - FTBFSing because of -Walloc-size-larger-than.  After some
    investigation and reasoning about g++, new[] and warnings, I figured
    out that the problem is caused by LTO.
  - Filed https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1030954
  - Filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/quorum/+bug/2006787
  - Filed https://github.com/gmarcais/Quorum/issues/8 (even though
    upstream seems dead).
  - Uploaded a package to disable LTO.
