In this case, yes.. Other bugs can be only appearing on backports. And no, it is not identical. If it was there was no need for a backport. It's a rebuild (with changed dependencies and any adaptions needed) to work in stable.

Not *-backports. And that only on the next release. -backports is not a staging ground for updates in "real" stable.

No, there isn't a freeze yet in testing. That only starts in some time. If there was, 5.2.2 would not have migrated there in the first place and thus there wouldn't be a backport of 5.2.2 anyways. > > Anyway: When looking in LOs Bugzilla I see > > https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101563 > > (do you use linked images?) > > and > > https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99303 > > (which isn't very useful.) > > > > based on theupstream reports I set the version accordingly to a existing > > version.
