Bug#990699: release.debian.org: Sorting out bug 990059 in bullseye
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: important
Usertags: binnmu transition
Hi,
Recent versions of libnss3 had a backwards incompatible change that made
packages built with the newer versions fail to work properly with the older
version of the package that is in bullseye.
That wouldn't be a problem if 2 packages that use the problematic symbol
and are built with the newer version hadn't themselves made it to
bullseye. The packages are, namely, firefox-esr and curl (curl has only
become a problem this week).
I uploaded a version of nss (2:3.67-2) that works around the issue and
will make rebuilds of those packages work with the version of nss in
bullseye, meaning we'd need binNMUs of both curl and firefox-esr and
subsequent transitions.
However, firefox-esr is due for a security update next tuesday/wednesday,
so it will be rebuilt anyways. I guess we might as well wait.
Which leaves us with just curl.
nmu curl_7.74.0-1.3 . ANY . -m 'Rebuild against newer libnss3-dev'
Mike
