Source: golang-gopkg-stretchr-testify.v1 Version: 1.3.0-2 Severity: serious
Dear Maintainer, It seems to me like this package is a duplicate of the already existing golang-testify package. I assume the duplication happened because the same component has multiple import paths. I asked about this on #debian-golang and got the following advice on how it should be implemented to avoid the duplication: zhsj ah: same thing, that should be a bug. make a link ./usr/share/gocode/src/gopkg.in/stretchr/testify.v1/ -> ./usr/share/gocode/src/github.com/stretchr/testify/ and should request RM golang-gopkg-stretchr-testify.v1 Leaving that up to someone else who knows these things better to implement.... Given there seems to be no reverse dependencies of this package I'm marking this bug report as serious so that the package will eventually fall out of testing if noone actively deals with this situation, which I think is reasonable.... $ ssh mirror.ftp-master.debian.org "dak rm -Rn golang-gopkg-stretchr-testify.v1" Will remove the following packages from unstable: golang-gopkg-stretchr-testify.v1 | 1.3.0-2 | source golang-gopkg-stretchr-testify.v1-dev | 1.3.0-2 | all Maintainer: Debian Go Packaging Team <[email protected]> ------------------- Reason ------------------- ---------------------------------------------- Checking reverse dependencies... No dependency problem found. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
