[RM] autopkgtest failure is blocking ruby-faraday{,-middleware} in hirsute-proposed

[Lucas Kanashiro]

The test is failing because upstream does not support yet the newer versions of faraday and faraday_middleware gems. Test log:

https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac/autopkgtest-hirsute/hirsute/amd64/r/ruby-diaspora-federation/20210104_102023_4626e@/log.gz

Patching the gemspec to relax the version constraints fixes the build but the package has not test suite, so we are blinded here whether the current version supports the newer versions of faraday and faraday_middleware.

The same issue was reported in Debian:

FWIW ruby-diaspora-federation was removed from Debian testing to allow the migration of ruby-faraday{,-middleware}:

[Lucas Kanashiro (lucaskanashiro)]

Since ruby-diaspora-federation has no reverse dependencies we could follow Debian to unblock other packages:

$ reverse-depends -r hirsute ruby-diaspora-federation
$ reverse-depends -b -r hirsute ruby-diaspora-federation
No reverse dependencies found

[Lucas Kanashiro (lucaskanashiro)]

Please remove ruby-diaspora-federation source and binary packages from hirsute.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

since only ruby-diaspora-federation is to be removed, closing the other tasks as invalid for clarity.
