Seems like libgpg-error0 somehow missed radar, another > case for tpu, imho. Why is there a libgpg-error0 package uploaded 5 days ago that has bumped shlibs when maintainers were specfically told in the release announcement that the base freeze does NOT mean that unstable is open for shlibs changes in base/standard? This looks like a candidate for being reverted immediately, before packages start getting rebuilt against it. The following packages will already need to be re-uploaded to remove the dependency on the incorrect libgpg-error: gnome-media gossip qalculate-gtk rhythmbox control-center epiphany-browser evolution gdesklets gnopernicus gnotime gok libgnome mlview nautilus-media wmbiff dia file-roller gnomeicu gnubiff gthumb libgnomeui librsvf2 nautilus-cd-burner quick-lounge-applet teleport totem yelp zapping gnome-vfs2 Some of these may qualify for recompile-only NMUs on select architectures. (gnome-vfs2 is likely to be one of these, since it was uploaded 9 days ago.) > > and other packages recompiled against older versions > > of e.g. slang1 to testing-proposed-updates [2], but that definitely > > takes more time than dropping the current freeze. > Remind me to shoot the slang maintainer, nothing in the changelogs for > 1.4.9dbs-5 and 1.4.9dbs-4 explains why he bumped the shlibs file from > libslang 1-UTF8 slang1a-utf8 (>> 1.4.6-dbs-2) > in 1.4.9dbs-3 to > libslang 1-UTF8 slang1a-utf8 (>> 1.4.9dbs-4) > in 1.4.9dbs-5. > The sourcepackage does not explain this either, afaict there was no > change in the ABI at all. I think we'll need to get the maintainer's explanation for this change. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
