Source: r-bioc-rhtslib Version: 2.4.1+dfsg-1 Severity: serious User: debian-...@lists.debian.org Usertags: time-t
Hi Andreas, Analysis of the archive for the 64-bit time_t transition[0][1] identifies r-bioc-rhtslib as an affected package, on the basis that it depends on some library whose ABI is sensitive to time_t, which requires reverse-dependencies to be built with LFS support enabled, and r-bioc-rhtslib's own ABI is sensitive to LFS support. However, r-bioc-rhtslib's shlibs file declares a dependency on a library package name that contains no ABI information: $ cat DEBIAN/shlibs libhts 3 r-bioc-rhtslib (>= 2.4.1+dfsg) $ It is not obvious that we should rename the package to 'r-bioc-rhtslibt64' as part of this transition. Looking at the archive, there are packages built from the separate r-bioc-rsamtools and r-bioc-variantannotation source packages that depend on this library. Since there is no self-evident thing to do with the library package name here, we will not be handling this package as part of the mass NMUs. Instead I am filing a serious bug because partial upgrades from bookworm to trixie on 32-bit architectures will result in ABI skew and may result in broken behavior.
