Package: gobject-introspection Version: 1.72.0-1+b1 Severity: serious Tags: upstream
Hi, See the discussion on the Debian Rust maintainers list for background: https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/pkg-rust-maintainers/2022-August/022857.html While that discussion is about Rust packages that were rejected, the same situation also applies to gobject-introspection unfortunately. For more details how to solve this in a way that makes ftp-masters happy, please refer to them. gobject-introspection ships gir/glib-2.0.c, gir/gio-2.0.c, gir/gmodule-2.0.c and gir/gobject-2.0.c. These files are autogenerated from a specific version of the GLib source code via the misc/update-glib-annotations.py script. The version that was used in 1.72.0 happens to be GLib 2.72.0 which is not in the archive anymore if you check https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/glib2.0/ In this case there are probably no differences if you regenerate the files from glib 2.72.3 but in other releases the situation is a bit more complicated, and various gobject-introspection releases shipped with generated files from some random git snapshot of glib. Ideally these files would be regenerated during each build with whatever version is currently available in Debian, however this might be discouraged by upstream as it's not clear anymore then what the exact files are that are being used in a specific Debian release compared to the upstream release. Alternatively the original source, i.e. glib in the exact version used for the files, could be included in the source package. Note that these files are used to generate the GLib-2.0.gir, Gio-2.0.gir, GModule-2.0.gir and GObject-2.0.gir files that are also shipped in the binary packages. -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (700, 'unstable'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (100, 'experimental'), (1, 'experimental-debug') merged-usr: no Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.18.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages gobject-introspection depends on: ii build-essential 12.9 ii libc6 2.34-4 ii libdpkg-perl 1.21.9 ii libffi8 3.4.2-4 ii libgirepository-1.0-1 [libgirepository-1.0-1-with-libffi8] 1.72.0-1+b1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.72.3-1+b1 ii python3 3.10.6-1 ii python3-distutils 3.10.6-1 ii python3-mako 1.1.3+ds1-3 ii python3-markdown 3.4.1-1 gobject-introspection recommends no packages. gobject-introspection suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
