Dear release team,
Please consider the attached update to the units package for trixie.
[ Reason ]
units can convert currencies; it ships files containing currency
exchange rates, prices for various precious metals, and consumer price
index data, along with a program to update them from online resources
(units_cur). One of those online resources changed its URL format,
which breaks units_cur completely (<https://bugs.debian.org/1128412>).
[ Impact ]
Users can no longer update currency information.
[ Tests ]
Since this relies on external resources, it isn’t covered by automated
tests in Debian; however I have checked that the proposed update fixes
the issue.
[ Risks ]
The change only updates two URLs, the risk is minimal.
[ Checklist ]
[x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
[ Changes ]
Two URLs now need trailing slashes:
https://services.packetizer.com/spotprices becomes
https://services.packetizer.com/spotprices/ and
https://services.packetizer.com/btc becomes
https://services.packetizer.com/btc/
Regards,
Stephen
