Bug#876561: transition: gdal

[Bas Couwenberg]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition

For the Debian GIS team I'd like to transition to GDAL 2.2.2.

Like the previous transition to GDAL 2.2.1 (#866797), there is no SONAME
bump, only the virtual ABI package changed to account for the C++ symbol
changes.

All reverse dependencies rebuilt successfully with GDAL 2.2.2 from
experimental as summarized below, except gazebo.

gazebo (7.8.1+dfsg-1) FTBFS for some unclear reason unrelated to gdal
(it FTBFS with plain unstable too):

 [ 88%] Built target gazebo_gui
 make[2]: Leaving directory '/build/gazebo-7.8.1+dfsg/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu'
 Makefile:165: recipe for target 'all' failed


libgdal-grass doesn't need a binNMU as the 2.2.2 version will be
uploaded to unstable instead. liblas likewise doesn't need a binNMU,
the version is experimental will be moved to unstable instead.


A complication for the transition is the inability to build the gdal
package on armhf, due to an issue with ca-certificates-java:

 Setting up ca-certificates-java (20170531+nmu1) ...
 Error: missing `server' JVM at `/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-armhf/jre/lib/arm/server/libjvm.so'.
 Please install or use the JRE or JDK that contains these missing components.

But openjdk-8-jdk-headless cannot be installed because it depends on
ca-certificates-java, see:

Ben file:

title = "gdal";
is_affected = .depends ~ "gdal-abi-2-2-1" | .depends ~ "gdal-abi-2-2-2";
is_good = .depends ~ "gdal-abi-2-2-2";
is_bad = .depends ~ "gdal-abi-2-2-1";


Kind Regards,
