Bug#859474: Move mutter-restart-helper out to mutter-common

[Mario Sanchez Prada]

Package: mutter
Version: 3.22.3-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

At the moment, mutter-restart-helper is included in the mutter package
but this tool can be useful from outside mutter (e.g. GNOME Shell uses
it via Meta.restart() (see [1]), so it would be probably a good idea
to move it to mutter-common instead.

We have been shipping this change in Endless for a while already (see
[2]) and I think it would be nice to have it included in debian, as
any other distro that might want to install just mutter-common would
benefit of that.

Thanks
Mario

Bug#561109: apt-get segfaults when system has ran out of ptys

[Mario Sanchez Prada]

Package: apt
Version: 0.7.25

As reported in Maemo's bugzilla bug #6153 [1]:


 STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM:
 1. Exhaust system ptys (currently 4 in Maemo Fremantle, so not hard) by 
opening enough osso-xterms
   (or ssh, screen etc sessions).
 2. Try to install some package with apt-get.

 EXPECTED OUTCOME:
 Successful installation, or failing that an error message and graceful exit.

 ACTUAL OUTCOME:
 Nokia-N900-42-11:~# apt-get install ltrace
 Reading package lists... Done
 Building dependency tree   
 Reading state information... Done

Providing a patch against revision 1900 in the bzr repository that would
fix this bug (just adds a missing NULL check).

Hope it helps
