Bug#951209: transition: libgusb
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition
Hello,
libgusb is carrying in debian a patch[0] to revert/fix an after the fact
change that was done upstream in the versioning of the symbols.
I don't think we should/can carry this patch forever and due to the fact
that the number of reverse-dependencies is quite limited, I was planning
to simply drop it, but that would require to binNMU them to be
certain they are using the correct version of the symbol.
r-deps are:
colord
colorhug-client
fwupd
gnome-multi-writer
simple-scan
I quickly tested and among of these, only fwupd seems impacted.
I updated the .symbols file of libgusb2 so the symbols affcted by this
version change will generate a dependency against the lastest version of
the library.
Could you please give me the greenlight to upload the new version of
libgusb and then schedule a binNMU of fwupd (or all the rdeps if you
prefere)
Kind regards,
Laurent Bigonville
