If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Groovy already has 0.48.5-1

[Rico Tzschichholz (ricotz)]

0.48.5-0ubuntu1 received a bunch of testing in focal-proposed and 0.48.5-1 in groovy.

Therefore I consider this good to go while there no regression has came up.
