Package: telegram-desktop
In raspbian, the update of abseil was delayed compared to Debian due to a build
failure
that I had to patch[1]. The result of this is that libtgowt was built against
the old abseil
and this in turn lead to a link failure in telegram-desktop.
I binnmu'd libtgowt in raspbian, and then rescheduled the build of
telegram-desktop,
this build of telegram-desktop was successful, however it produced a bogus
built-using
line, which was detected by our infrastructure.
Built-Using: libtgowt (= 0~git20220202.d618d0b+dfsg-2+b1), ms-gsl (= 4.0.0-2),
range-v3 (= 0.11.0-2), tl-expected (= 1.0.0~dfsg-2)
The problem is that the built-using generation in telegram-desktop correctly
uses the
source package name, but incorrectly uses the binary package version. This
doesn't
affect Debian right now because none of the affected packages have been
binnmu'd in
Debian (and all but one of them are arch all so can't be binnmu'd), but it may
affect
Debian in the future if libtgowt ever gets binnmu'd.
The fix is trivial, just replacing "Version" with "source:Version" in the
dpkg-query
call used to generate the Built-Using entries. A debdiff is attatched and I
would
appreciate it being included in the next upload.
[1] The build failure does not affect any Debian architectures and has been
reported
