The autopkgtests all pass now. I installed glib 2.74.3-0ubuntu1, restarted my computer and ensured that epiphany-browser, the file browser and the terminal all appear to work correctly.
I also installed gnome-characters 43.1-0ubuntu1 and verified that I was able to search for the moose emoji and copy it. ** Tags removed: verification-needed verification-needed-kinetic ** Tags added: verification-done verification-done-kinetic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to glib2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1999098 Title: Update glib to 2.74.3 Status in glib2.0 package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in glib2.0 source package in Kinetic: Fix Committed Bug description: Impact ------ There is a new bugfix release in the stable 2.74 series The current release in Ubuntu 22.10 is 2.74.0 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/blob/2.74.3/NEWS Test Case 1 ----------- glib has an extensive test suite. Failing tests will fail the build. This update will also trigger a lot of autopkgtests. Ensure that there aren't autopgktest regressions triggered by this update and that the builds complete successfully Test Case 2 ----------- Pretty much all parts of GNOME use GLib, so test anything in the desktop that you can. If you reboot the machine and can get to the desktop, that's already tested GLib extensively. But also run applications like the terminal, the file browser and epiphany-browser Test Case 3 (Extra) ------------------ Install gnome-characters 43.1. (This is being SRU'd, but the version from Lunar also works.) Open the Characters app. Use the search feature to search for "moose" A moose emoji should show up. This is one of the new Emoji 15. https://blog.emojipedia.org/whats-new-in-unicode-15-0/ With glib 2.74.0, the moose emoji won't be searchable but it does show in the Animals category. What Could Go Wrong ------------------- This update contains fixes in multiple places so multiple apps could be affected. The consequences of a broken GLib can range from some functions returning bad results sometimes, which have minimal runtime implications, up to the system simply crashing all the time. Other Info ---------- Unicode 15 enablement was granted a User Interface Freeze Exception for Ubuntu 22.10: https://launchpad.net/bugs/1989626 glib and gnome-characters are the only 2 late pieces that the Ubuntu Desktop team plans to SRU for Ubuntu 22.10. Ubuntu 23.04 has 2.74.2 with the commits from 2.74.3 backported so they are functionally equivalent. Ubuntu 23.04 will get newer glib versions before 23.04 is released.
