But I don't see that anyone has taken the initiative to correct that
test case, and the bug is still marked verification-failed.

Oh, now I know why the test case looked funny to me. The bug was updated
because you didn't like the original, accurate impact and test case.

Sure, it's low priority but the fix isn't wrong.

I guess there is only one case where the current "fix" would help. If
someone had some library providing libungif in a different place, the
broken symlinks in /usr/lib might take precedence, thus hiding the
correct files.

Let's treat this as verification-failed, unless someone can give us a
good reason that this does need to land in Trusty.

Different considerations apply to the
Oh, maybe the test case is wrong. This SRU is the same fix as was done
in Debian's 5.1.1 (present in Xenial) to "not ship broken symlinks".

I forgot which hat I was wearing. I sponsored it and Brian SRU-
reviewed/accepted it. But my opinion is still the same.

Thank you for testing this.
I accepted the SRU on the assumption that "Linking programs that need
libungif ("-lungif") will fail" would be fixed. In other words, that
"-lungif" in the test case would now succeed. If this is not the case,
then I think the SRU is pointless and that we shouldn't rele
I tested the package from trusty-proposed, but I am not sure whether the
issue can be considered fixed.
In fact, the dangling symlinks have been removed, but they have not been
added in the right place. This means that software depending on libungif
will still not compile.
The question is, whethe
Hello Sebastian, or anyone else affected,
Accepted giflib into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/giflib/4.1.6-11ubuntu0.14.04.1 in a
few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See

I made the following minor changes:
1. I ran update-maintainer. Please see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField
2. I adjusted the package version string to 4.1.6-11ubuntu0.14.04.1
because 4.1.6-11 also exists in Vivid. Though that's EOL on desktop, it

The "Impact" section in the bug whiteboard is supposed to contain this
information for an SRU, but right now it seems to contain a technical
description of what is wrong rather than describing any actual impact to
users.

Is there any actual impact to Trusty users, please? Or is this just
tidying up some dangling symlinks for the sake of it?

@sds: Yes, they exist, but in /usr/lib, while they should be in
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu (depending on the platform). As libgif.* is

Are there any plans to backport this change to giflib-4.1.6-11 on
trusty? Considering that trusty is still going to be supported for more
than three years, it might make sense to backport this bugfix.
