Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal Tags: stretch User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org Usertags: pu Hi, The purpose of this update to easytag is to fix #855251 where easytag will sometimes corrupt ogg (and related) files it tags. The corruption causes some of the music data to be overwritten near the start of the file. This causes an audible click and various tools print errors about trying to play a corrupt file. The upstream bug has now been open since late 2016, is apparently very difficult to fix (lots of code to be written) and there is no fix in progress which I can see. Due to this, I have completely disabled ogg support in unstable and I think doing the same in stable is the best cause of action to prevent people from corrupting their music collection. Debdiff attached. It also contains a related change to the control file. I thought about adding a NEWS entry but I wasn't sure (I did not add one for unstable).
