Title:
Update glib to 2.74.3
Status in glib2.0 package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in glib2.0 source package in Kinetic:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Impact
------
There is a new bugfix release in the stable 2.74 series
The current release in Ubuntu 22.10 is 2.74.0
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/blob/2.74.3/NEWS
Test Case 1
-----------
glib has an extensive test suite.
Failing tests will fail the build.
This update will also trigger a lot of autopkgtests.
Ensure that there aren't autopgktest regressions triggered by this
update and that the builds complete successfully
Test Case 2
-----------
Pretty much all parts of GNOME use GLib, so test anything in the desktop that
you can. If you reboot the machine and can get to the desktop, that's already
tested GLib extensively. But also run applications like the terminal, the file
browser and epiphany-browser
Test Case 3 (Extra)
------------------
Install gnome-characters 43.1. (This is being SRU'd, but the version from
Lunar also works.)
Open the Characters app.
Use the search feature to search for "moose"
A moose emoji should show up. This is one of the new Emoji 15.
https://blog.emojipedia.org/whats-new-in-unicode-15-0/
With glib 2.74.0, the moose emoji won't be searchable but it does show
in the Animals category.
What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
This update contains fixes in multiple places so multiple apps could be
affected. The consequences of a broken GLib can range from some functions
returning bad results sometimes, which have minimal runtime implications, up to
the system simply crashing all the time.
Other Info
----------
Unicode 15 enablement was granted a User Interface Freeze Exception for
Ubuntu 22.10: https://launchpad.net/bugs/1989626
glib and gnome-characters are the only 2 late pieces that the Ubuntu
Desktop team plans to SRU for Ubuntu 22.10.
Ubuntu 23.04 has 2.74.2 with the commits from 2.74.3 backported so
they are functionally equivalent. Ubuntu 23.04 will get newer glib
versions before 23.04 is released.
