* debian/control: Move gir1.2-goa-1.0, gir1.2-secret-1, and gir1.2-snapd-1 dependencies from software-properties-common to software-properties-gtk (LP: #1762082). * SoftwareProperties.py: Wrap importing of gir1.2-snapd-1 in a try-except block in order to avoid failures in add-apt-repository. -- Andrea Azzarone <andrea.azzar...@canonical.com> Mon, 09 Apr 2018 09:19:23 +0200 ** Changed in: software-properties (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to software-properties in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1762082 Title: software-properties-common 0.96.24.24 bloats dependencies on server Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in software-properties source package in Bionic: Fix Released Bug description: As of version 0.96.24.24, software-properties-common declares dependencies on gir1.2-goa-1.0, gir1.2-snapd-1, and gir1.2-secret-1. This in turn pulls in a variety of transitive dependencies, including glib-networking, which was noticed because it is now part of the cloud image used for autopkgtests and breaks tests on some packages. We include software-properties-common in the server seed in order for the add-apt-repository command to work. add-apt-repository definitely doesn't seem to be making use of any of these other gir modules. I don't think this dependency is added at the right level; I think the dependency needs to be moved up to whichever package is actually making use of the canonical-livepatch information - which appears to be software-properties-gtk.
