Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock Hi! I got bug reports for 6 of the globus packages saying they did not handle symlink to dir conversion properly. However, the same problem exists in all globus packages providing a doc binary package (except for one that just recently had the doc package added and never had the symlink). I have uploaded updates for all 29 affected globus packages, and not only the 6 packages I got bug reports for. I would like for you to consider unblocking all of them. These uploads adds the maintainer scripts needed to handle the symlink-to-dir conversion properly to the latest version in unstable, without other changes (except adding VERBOSE=1 to the make check call where it was not there before). For some of these updates, the version in unstable to which the fix for the problem was applied had not already migrated to testing. The changes w.r.t. the versions in testing are small (minor version updates only) and for most of the package the new upstream version was done after upstream accepted the patches that were already applied in the debian package of the previous version. globus-authz 3.10-2 (Closes: #762857) globus-authz-callout-error 3.5-2 (Closes: #762855) globus-callout 3.13-2 (Closes: #762860) globus-common 15.26-2 (Closes: #762862) [1] globus-ftp-client 8.13-5 globus-ftp-control 5.12-2 globus-gass-copy 9.12-2 globus-gass-transfer 8.8-2 globus-gram-client 13.10-2 [2] globus-gram-job-manager-callout-error 3.5-2 globus-gram-job-manager-scripts 6.7-2 globus-gram-protocol 12.12-2 globus-gridmap-callout-error 2.4-2 globus-gsi-callback 5.6-2 globus-gsi-cert-utils 9.10-2 globus-gsi-credential 7.7-2 globus-gsi-openssl-error 3.5-2 globus-gsi-proxy-core 7.7-2 globus-gsi-proxy-ssl 5.7-2 globus-gsi-sysconfig 6.8-2 globus-gssapi-error 5.4-2 globus-gssapi-gsi 11.13-2 globus-gss-assist 10.12-2 globus-openssl-module 4.6-2 globus-rsl 10.9-2 (Closes: #762863) globus-scheduler-event-generator 5.7-2 (Closes: #762864) globus-xio 4.15-2 globus-xio-gridftp-driver 2.8-2 globus-xio-gsi-driver 3.6-2 [1] The globus-common update also (Closes: #768219) - missing Breaks/Replaces due to a man page moved from another package [2] The globus-gram-client update to version 13.10-2 (the current version in testing is 13.8-1) is an important security update. Even without the fix for the symlink-to-dir problem I would have filed an unblock request for the 13.10 version due to this. The 13.8 version forced the use of SSLv3 (for compatibility with really old server versions). This is not appropriate any more and upstream removed this in the 13.10 update. Since Debian's openssl 1.0.1j-1 disables SSLv3, the 13.8 version does not work anymore against servers on Debian and the 13.10 is needed. Mattias
