And while it's not an soname transition in the usual sense, it is a new upstream version, which we have reports of regressing the desktop. Yes this needs to be reviewed with respect to feature freeze.
It is also presently blocking a lot of packages in -proposed which are being rebuilt against libffi8 and can't migrate. ** Changed in: libffi (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => New ** Changed in: libffi (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Matthias Klose (doko) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to libffi in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1943288 Title: Soname change and transition started without a ffe Status in libffi package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: It seems the recent upload includes a soname change and is starting a transition, such changes at the point of the cycle would require a ffe To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libffi/+bug/1943288/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
