Hi,
I'm trying to bring TeX Live 2024 into Debian testing. The excuse pages for texlive-base/texlive-extra/texlive-lang say "Migration status for texlive-... (2023.20240207-x to 2024.20240401-x): Will attempt migration (Any information below is purely informational)" Unfortunately these package are bound to biber >= 2.20, which needs to migrate at the same time. Here the excuse page says [1]:It this really the case? In BD, there isn't any version restrictions on biber. Neither is it listed as a blocking issue.
I would have expected that biber test suite needs texlive packages... In the end biber 2.20 breaks texlive-bibtex-extra (<< 2024.20240401) and root@rasppi2:~# apt-cache show texlive-bibtex-extra|grep Breaks Breaks: biber (<< 2.20), texlive-base (<< 2022.20220405) So, both packages need to migrate at the same time.
The problem here is that the reference test succeeded, while the new test failed, this blocks the migration. The proper way to handle this is to request a new reference test, which in this case we hope will fail. When both tests fails, it is no longer a regression and therefore, no longer blocking the migration.
For any reason the reference test now failed (thanks for requesting) and TL2024 is now in testing. Many thanks for help!
