Bug#1061743: Gramps in Debian

i think this is just a wrong assumption on the side of the upstream 
testsuite (shadowed by their workflows).


upstream evades this by ensuring that "~/.gramps/" is there before 
running the tests (both in their GitHub action, and in their debian/ 
packaging).


i think that for now the proper resolution for the problem is to simply 
do a `mkdir "$CURDIR)/build/.gramps` before running the tests.

(which i've now pushed to the 'experimental' branch)

as a sidenote: the testsuite now creates a *very* verbose buildlog (~420MB).
is that ok?

Bug#1058934: apt install ./foo.deb re-downloads the package

[Debian GNU|Linux]

This is a regression since bookworm.




note that i am experiencing this on a bookworm system.

while i don't use backports (so 'apt' should be indeed the one that 
comes with bookworm), i do have some third-party repository enabled 
(gitlab).


i did notice the problem when using 'apt-get' (rather than 'apt') to 
install a local .deb file (which happens to be >1GB, so the re-download 
is quite noticeable):


```sh
apt-get install /dev/shm/gitlab-ce_16.6.2-ce.0_amd64.deb
```

(that's just for completeness sake; i'm full aware that i'm on my own 
when enabling 3rd party repositories; but given that stuart was able to 
reproduce this on a (presumably) pristine system, it might help that 
others experience this before trixie)

Please adjust the affected versions in the BTS as needed.


as upstream, i strongly believe that the v0.12.7 release includes the 
relevant fix.
is it enough t to just change the affected version or do I have to do 
something else as well?

in general, the "Debian stable version" is releasED.
the release date for the current Debian/stable version was 2021-08-14, 
that is: in the past.

i cannot really do anything about the past.

i'm not fully decided whether i would want to provide a package for 
"bullseye-update" for this issue (i'm leaning towards "no", but haven't 
actually assessed the amount of work that needs to be done for that),

Bug#985507: v4l2loopback-utils: Unable to use dynamic device management due to old version

[Debian GNU|Linux]

hi,

On 3/19/21 11:43 AM, JCGoran wrote:

Dear Maintainer,

The current version of v4l2loopback-ctl in Unstable (currently 0.6) is a bit
behind compared to upstream, and, as a result, I am unable to use dynamic
device management to create new loopback devices on-the-fly since the option
does not exist, see:

https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback#dynamic-device-management

As a workaround, I built v4l2loopback-ctl directly from upstream, but it would
be great if the new version was included in Debian.


ah no.
in order for dynamic device management to work, you need support in the 
loopback module itself.

just updating the utilities doesn't help.

there has not been a *release* of v4l2loopback that has dynamic device 
management.

the reasons are explained in
   https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback/issues/398

as soon as upstream releases a new version of `v4l2loopback`, the Debian 
packages will be updated accordingly.

not sooner.

Bug#968416: lintian: Gives ridiculous warning about spelling in overrides file

i think this was a tongue-in-cheek comment:
lintian doesn't do spell-checking in comments, and i think that's fine.
i (guess i) agree with robert, that lintian shouldn't do spell-checking 
in comments of lintian-override files either.

could you please point to the relevant bug-report?
i think it is great that lintian does spell-checking.
inevitably it will find false-positives (that's to be expected).
in this case, i think the sensible thing for maintainers is to override 
the false-positive it's good practice to document the context why this 
is not a spelling error in the first place.

in many cases, this will re-produce the false-positive in the comment.
which makes it all a bit tautological.
(if i override the "spelling-in-override-comment" tag, will it trigger 
another warning?)



i therefore propose to ignore spelling errors in lintian-override files 
if they appear in comments directly before any "spelling-in-*" tag in 
the overrides file.

Bug#971737: lightning: all calendars disappeared (and throws errors when double-clicked)

yes, i'm aware of that (hence i only mentioned the upgrade of

Any Add-ons installed locally within the copied profile? Any Add-on not
disabled while working on the profile?




turns out the "lightning" add-on was still active.
once i disabled it (and restarted thunderbird), the calendars are back 
to normal.


i'm *pretty sure* that i didn't install the lightning add-on outside of 
Debian (that is: as a *local* add-on).
so i guess there's a problem with the upgrade path from the 
Debian-packaged lightning (1:68.12.0-1) to the transitional package.

PS: i'm leaving this open, in case you want to verify whether this is
