[Bug 2111817] Re: coreutils-from is in main but coreutils-from-uutils is not

[Julian Andres Klode]

Removing the block-proposed tag to let ubuntu20 migrate which
temporarily defaults to GNU.

Please note the tag is not needed for blocking migration of other
versions, britney does not allow the default choice to be supplied from
universe:

> coreutils/amd64 in main cannot depend on coreutils-from-uutils in universe
> coreutils/amd64 in main cannot depend on coreutils-from-uutils in universe 


** Tags removed: block-proposed

Title:
  coreutils-from is in main but coreutils-from-uutils is not

Status in coreutils-from package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Currently in questing-proposed,

  coreutils has Pre-Depends: coreutils-from-uutils | coreutils-from-gnu

  coreutils is in main
  coreutils-from-gnu is in main
  coreutils-from-uutils is in universe

  It looks like britney would allow this to migrate to questing.

  I'm filing a blocker bug because the first alternative for a package
  in main ought to be in main. In practice, I think this would result in
  the universe Ubuntu Desktop Flavor ISOs to pull in coreutils-from-
  uutils but the Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server ISOs to use coreutils-
  from-gnu. I'm guessing people upgrading from plucky would also get
  coreutils-from-uutils. This is chaotic.

  I think that we need to get coreutils-from-uutils and rust-coreutils
  into main before allowing this swap to continue. In other words, this
  is blocked by LP: #2111815

  Other Info
  ----------
  I think this could be said to be a violation of Debian Policy § 2.2.1 once translated to Ubuntu archive specifics.
