#1251385 — Bug#1108479: unblock: nut/2.8.1-5

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Severity: normal

Control: affects -1 + src:nut

Please unblock package nut

[ Reason ]
nut-scanner tool is currently not working properly as it dynamically
load some libraries and it only looks for the .so files installed by the
corresponding -dev packages and not the runtime ones.

[ Impact ]
nut-scanner is a tool to automatically detect the UPS installed on the
system or network. Without this tool the users need to write the
configration by hand. nut is not completely broken, but it's less
convinient for the user

[ Tests ]
I installed the runtime libraries without the corresponding -dev package
and the tool is able to load the library and is not complaining anymore

[ Risks ]
The patch only changes the file name of the libraty from lib.so to
lib.so.SONAME, so as long as the SONAME is not changing there is no
risks 

[ Checklist ]
  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing

[ Other info ]
This fix will be limited to trixie and upstream has a different fix in
a new release.

src:nut isn't a key package and has passing autopkgtests, so it doesn't 
need any action from our side. Having said that, I do wonder...

So, how is this intended to work with transitions? Just rebuilding 
src:nut will not magically fix the patch.

Right, so only 12 days to go before it migrates

Well plan here was a quick fix for Trixie (there are no transitions 
happening when a version is released, isn't it?)

For the next release, 2.8.3 (currently in experimental), includes an 
other fix, the build system capture the file name of the library at 
compilation time and then use that name to dynamically load at runtime.

So I guess it's "OK"?
