Hi Mentors,

My package siconos currently has a bug filed [1] and has been marked
for autoremoval from testing.

The problem is that I cannot reproduce it. The failure is on a test
that depends on another package, so I am wondering if there was just a
glitch here? I have replied to the bug report with working build
logs, but there has been no further activity, so I am not sure what
further action I can take to avoid that the package gets removed.

Thanks for any help.
Steve

Did you build the package in a clean environment? Against only
dependencies in testing?

Otherwise, I'd recommend sbuild.

I tried building it myself to confirm, but it failed due to lack of
disk space, so I can't currently.

I used a trivial jail with chroot. I can't reproduce the issue.

I could also not reproduce it in a pbuilder chroot. Might indeed be a glitch or some other dependency causing this…
I'd either downgrade it to non RC and tag it unreproducible or close it with the request to reopen if it pops up again.

Thanks for the responses and attempts to build!
Yes, it takes quite a bit of memory unfortunately, due to some very
large auto-generated swig wrappers combined with some complicated
boost usage.

In any case, I was not so much asking for help building/reproducing,
as I was asking what I can do other than to reply to the bug, which
seems not to be eliciting a response, to either avoid or delay the
auto-removal process. Is auto-removal policy documented somewhere? Unfortunately all my searches turn up "apt-get autoremove" help
instead.

I am really worried the package will get removed from the upcoming
Debian release because of this.

regards,
Steve

For that you'd follow Tobias' suggestion:

I'd either downgrade it to non RC and tag it unreproducible or close it with the request to reopen if it pops up again.

Practically, that means you'd either downgrade the bug's severity [1]
to "important" or below to make it non-RC [2], or close it [3].

The connection between RC bugs and auto-removal is documented here [4].
