Package: libwx-scintilla-perl Version: 0.39-3 Severity: serious Tags: sid buster User: debian-p...@lists.debian.org Usertags: autopkgtest X-Debbugs-Cc: Olly Betts <o...@survex.com> Control: block 894663 with -1
We're in the middle of wxwidgets3.0 related packages transitioning from gtk2 to gtk3 (see #894663), and it looks like the current dependency metadata doesn't prevent some problematic combinations of partial upgrades on the Perl bindings (libwx-perl rdeps) side. As seen at https://ci.debian.net/packages/libw/libwx-scintilla-perl/unstable/amd64/, libwx-scintilla-perl_0.39-3+b2 (old binary built against wxwidgets / gtk2) breaks when libwx-perl is a gtk3 build (currently at 1:0.9932-3). Manually running t/03_editor_child.t in libwx-scintilla-perl shows some GTK warnings and a hang: # xvfb-run prove t/03_editor_child.t t/03_editor_child.t .. (03_editor_child.t:3955): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 13:02:34.625: cannot register existing type 'GtkWidget' (03_editor_child.t:3955): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 13:02:34.625: g_type_add_interface_static: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_INSTANTIATABLE (instance_type)' failed (03_editor_child.t:3955): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 13:02:34.625: cannot register existing type 'GtkBuildable' (03_editor_child.t:3955): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 13:02:34.625: g_type_interface_add_prerequisite: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_INTERFACE (interface_type)' failed (03_editor_child.t:3955): GLib-CRITICAL **: 13:02:34.625: g_once_init_leave: assertion 'result != 0' failed (03_editor_child.t:3955): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 13:02:34.625: g_type_add_interface_static: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_INSTANTIATABLE (instance_type)' failed (03_editor_child.t:3955): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 13:02:34.625: cannot register existing type 'GtkWidget' (03_editor_child.t:3955): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 13:02:34.625: g_type_add_interface_static: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_INSTANTIATABLE (instance_type)' failed This works fine again with libwx-scintilla-perl_0.39-4, which is built against GTK3. So to do this properly it looks like we need something to make sure the Perl Wx related packages are upgraded in sync. The virtual package provided by libalien-wxwidgets-perl (currently wxperl-gtk-3-0-4-uni-gcc-3-4) seems like a candidate, but I don't have a ready recipe for injecting that. It seems probable that other packages (libwx-glcanvas-perl?) are similarly affected, but I haven't looked into that. Olly, explicitly copying you as you're handling this transition (thanks for that!). Any thoughts on this? Setting severity to RC initially and marking as a transition blocker, but others should feel free to adjust as appropriate. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org
