Dear all,With only 1 month to go until the first freeze, another plea [1,2,3,4] to fix RC bugs in key packages [5]. Currently we have 234 RC bugs in key packages affecting bookworm [6] of which 160 are unresolved in unstable or experimental, aren't pending and don't have a patch. Here are again 5 RC bugs in key packages to draw attention to this class of bugs. Remember, resolving these bugs is a collective effort.
#1001276 binutils Hijacks libctf library name on (k)FreeBSD https://bugs.debian.org/1001276 #1000496 grub2libvirt/kvm/qemu/grub - XML-generated VMs working under buster fail with bullseye
https://bugs.debian.org/1000496 #1004184 gcc-11 generate bad code for matplotlib with -O1/-O2 on mips64el https://bugs.debian.org/1004184 #1005619 hypercornFTBFS: dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-source -b . subprocess returned exit status 255
https://bugs.debian.org/1005619 #1005628 ruby-turbolinks-sourceFTBFS: installing symlink lib/assets/javascripts/turbolinks.js pointing to parent path /usr/share/javascript/turbolinks/turbolinks.js ... is not allowed
https://bugs.debian.org/1005628I am asking for help with investigating RC bug reports, judging severity, reproducing the issue, clarifying the problem, i.e. bug triaging of all RC bugs that haven't seen activity for a while and that are still affecting bookworm. Of course ideally the bug gets fixed.
Remember, if you really think a bug shouldn't be RC (particularly if you are the maintainer), downgrade it with an explanation. If in doubt, leave your note in the bug report, that's already a great help.
