[Bug 2007558] Re: Please remove libprocps8 & libprocps-dev from Ubuntu 23.04

[Steve Langasek]

this is an incorrect interpretation of the update_excuses output while
the new source package had not yet been built.  These binaries get
removed via the NBS process if and when they no longer have reverse-
dependencies in the release pocket - which is *after* the new procps
migrates from -proposed to release.

$ reverse-depends -r lunar -c main libprocps8
$


** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Please remove libprocps8 & libprocps-dev from Ubuntu 23.04

Status in procps package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The recent 4.0 upstream release merged from Debian unstable changed it's package naming:
  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/procps/2:4.0.2-3ubuntu1

  libprocps8 -> libproc2-0 (rename & ABI changes)
  libprocps-dev -> libproc-dev (rename & API changes)
  procps == procps (binary package stays the same)

  There are no dependencies on those packages in "main":
  $ reverse-depends -r lunar -b -c main libprocps-dev
  $ reverse-depends -r lunar -c main libprocps8
  Reverse-Depends
  * libprocps-dev
  * procps

  Packages without architectures listed are reverse-dependencies in:
  amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x

  
  In universe (non -proposed) we have a few sources still depending on those legacy binary procps packages, but most should probably already be handled by Debian and be waiting for us in -proposed (like apitrace):

  $ reverse-depends -r lunar -b libprocps-dev
  Reverse-Build-Depends
  * apitrace
  * cpu-x
  * deepin-screen-recorder
  * intel-gpu-tools
  * lxqt-session
  * obs-advanced-scene-switcher
  * ugene
  * veyon

  $ reverse-depends -r lunar libprocps8
  Reverse-Depends
  * apitrace [amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el s390x]
  * cpu-x [amd64]
  * deepin-screen-recorder [amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el s390x]
  * intel-gpu-tools [amd64 i386]
  * libprocps-dev
  * lxqt-session [amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el s390x]
  * obs-advanced-scene-switcher [amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el s390x]
  * procps
  * veyon-plugins [amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el s390x]

  Packages without architectures listed are reverse-dependencies in:
  amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x

  
  $ reverse-depends -r lunar -b src:procps | grep "for libproc"
  * mmdebstrap                    (for libproc2-0)
  * apitrace                      (for libprocps-dev)
  * cpu-x                         (for libprocps-dev)
  * deepin-screen-recorder        (for libprocps-dev)
  * intel-gpu-tools               (for libprocps-dev)
  * lxqt-session                  (for libprocps-dev)
  * obs-advanced-scene-switcher   (for libproc2-dev)
  * obs-advanced-scene-switcher   (for libprocps-dev)
  * ugene                         (for libprocps-dev)
  * veyon                         (for libprocps-dev)
  $ reverse-depends -r lunar src:procps | grep "for libproc"
  * cpu-x [amd64]                 (for libprocps8)
