Steve has been unavailable unfortunately. In his absence, I'm inclined to follow my opinion in the previous comment. Third party software is expected to be rebuilt against the soname used in 24.04, since we do not provide ABI compatibility across releases.
If the soname does actually go back upstream, then 24.04 would become an exception and we can reconsider the symlink then. This is a weak opinion, but we need some decision, so this is the call I'm making. If others have further information, please make your case and we can reconsider. If other Ubuntu developers object, then please do discuss further. I'll set to Won't Fix for now to make it clear that there's no further action to be made at this point. If the soname reverts upstream, please re-open. ** Changed in: libaio (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2067501 Title: Ubuntu noble is missing libaio.so.1 compat symlink To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libaio/+bug/2067501/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
