Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal Tags: bullseye User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org Usertags: pu [ Reason ] This update backports multiple fixes from unstable for RC bugs and fixes broken behavior. It makes the dpkg-fsys-usrunmess script more robust, fixes mishandling of versioned symbols due to output changes in objdump, fixes the removal-on-upgrade conffile support, and adds support for the ARC arch. There's also a tiny fix for the Dutch translated man pages. [ Impact ] * The dpkg-shlibdeps problem would cause wrong dependency information which could lead to programs unable to run-time link due to missing symbols. * The removal-on-upgrade conffile support could end up removing pathnames owned by other packages. * The dpkg-fsys-usrunmess changes make the script more robust, to reduce the potential for breakage and avoid known problematic scenarios that can leave the system messed up, requiring arduous recovery. * The arc arch porters cannot introduce it properly as the infr runs on stable which currently does not know about it. [ Tests ] * The fix for dpkg-shlibdeps can be verified by running that version on unstable/testing and building cppcheck. (I have pending adding a minimal test case into the test suite in git main though.) * The removal-on-upgrade conffile fix contains functional tests. * The dpkg-fsys-usrunmess has been run on a merged-/usr system with the various conditions and it works as expected. * The arc arch addition is trivial, but still contains some test suite coverage. [ Risks ] All these fixes have been in unstable/testing for months now, w/ no reported regressions. The biggest changes are for the removal-on-upgrade conffile support, but that ends up being more of moving code around, and the changes to dpkg-fsys-usrunmess. But none are that big anyway. [ Checklist ] [√] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog [√] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [√] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable [√] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable [ Changes ] The git log is included in the debdiff, which I'm attaching in its full compressed form with no filtering applied. [ Other info ] None. Thanks, Guillem
