Hello Jeremy, or anyone else affected, Accepted glib2.0 into noble-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/2.80.0-6ubuntu3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- noble to verification-done-noble. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-noble. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Changed in: glib2.0 (Ubuntu Noble) Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-noble -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to glib2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2063221 Title: Drop libglib2.0-0 transitional package Status in glib2.0 package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in glib2.0 source package in Noble: Fix Committed Bug description: Impact ------ apt can struggle with ordering when handling the massive Y2028 time_t transition when upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. It was identified that dropping the libglib2.0-0 transitional package can help apt do things in the correct order. Technically, Steve Langasek already removed libglib2.0-0 from noble release just before release. This upload is necessary to ensure that we don't accidentally bring it back. Test Case --------- 1. Is libglib2.0-0 built? 2. Run rmadison libglib2.0-0 There should be 0 results for noble, noble-proposed, or noble-updates 3. Ensure that libglib2.0-0 is removed during the upgrade from Ubuntu 22.04 LTS to 24.04 LTS. Technically, ubuntu-release-upgrader is currently set to disallow upgrades to 24.04 LTS. If this is still the case when it is time to verify this SRU, you can manually substitute jammy → noble in /etc/apt/sources.list for purposes of testing this upgrade, probably in a VM since that's not the supported way to upgrade. Where Problems Could Occur -------------------------- Doing an upload to not build a package that already does not exist in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS should have no regression potential. The only other change in this SRU is bumping the Breaks version to ensure that the transitional libglib2.0-0 is also removed for people who were using Ubuntu 24.04 LTS early. That also should not cause problems since the package was an empty transitional package for early Ubuntu 24.04 LTS users. Other Info ---------- This is related to LP: #2061918 for the thunderbird deb to snap upgrade There are likely several other Launchpad bugs that can be resolved by removing the transitional package and some other workarounds in other packages, like in the transitional thunderbird package. https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/glib/-/merge_requests/34 We have landed the removal in Debian Unstable and it successfully migrated to Debian Testing on April 27 as one of the first t64 packages to migrate there. The removal was recommended by Julian Klode, the apt maintainer for Debian and Ubuntu. The original transitional package was added by Simon McVittie in hopes that it would help apt be able to calculate the upgrade easier. At least in the Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 LTS → 24.04 LTS case, it looks like it was the opposite. (Although that particular detail was fixed by the removal that already happened.)
