** Description changed:

  https://github.com/LMDB/lmdb/commit/1ffe472a080fcd3c7dab6e352848703ad7adbe14
  is an upstream fix for the LMDB database that fixes the most common
  crash in the KDE Baloo file indexing daemon:
  https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389848 (currently at 42
  duplicates).
  
  We should consider backporting this commit to the version shipped in
  Bionic to improve reliability for our LTS users.
  
  [Impact]
  
-  * Crash in Baloo file indexer
- 
-  * Used in Kubuntu by default and in KDE snaps
+  * Repeated crash in Baloo file indexer, used in Kubuntu by default and
+ in KDE snaps
  
  [Test Case]
  
-  *
+  * balooctl disable && balooctl enable
+  * [no more crashes in lmdb::mdb_cursor_put()]
  
+ [Regression Potential]
  
- [Regression Potential] 
- 
-  * discussion of how regressions are most likely to manifest as a result
- of this change.
- 
-  * It is assumed that any SRU candidate patch is well-tested before
-    upload and has a low overall risk of regression, but it's important
-    to make the effort to think about what ''could'' happen in the
-    event of a regression.
- 
-  * This both shows the SRU team that the risks have been considered,
-    and provides guidance to testers in regression-testing the SRU.
+  * No regression potential observed; the fix is already in the wild and
+ has not caused any regressions on rolling release distros, or other
+ distros like openSUSE that have already incorporated this patch
  
  [Other Info]
-  
-  * Anything else you think is useful to include
-  * Anticipate questions from users, SRU, +1 maintenance, security teams and 
the Technical Board
-  * and address these questions in advance
+ 
+  * Nothing relevant.
