Dear maintainer(s),

The Release Team considers packages that are out-of-sync between testing
and unstable for more than 30 days as having a Release Critical bug in
testing [1]. Your package src:colmap has been trying to migrate for 31
days [2], hence this bug report. The current output of the migration
software for this package is copied to the bottom of this report and
should list the reason why the package is blocked.

If a package is out of sync between unstable and testing for a longer
period, this usually means that bugs in the package in testing cannot be
fixed via unstable. Additionally, blocked packages can have impact on
other packages, which makes preparing for the release more difficult.
Finally, it often exposes issues with the package and/or its
(reverse-)dependencies. We expect maintainers to fix issues that hamper
the migration of their package in a timely manner.

This bug will trigger auto-removal when appropriate. As with all new
bugs, there will be at least 30 days before the package is auto-removed.

This bug submission immediately closes the bug with the version in
unstable, so if that version or a later version migrates, this bug will
no longer affect testing. This bug is also tagged to only affect sid and
forky, so it doesn't affect (old-)stable.

If you believe your package is unable to migrate to testing due to
issues beyond your control, don't hesitate to contact the Release Team.

This bug report has been automatically generated and has only been sent
manually. If you have any comments with regards to the content or the
process, please reach out to me.
