Why does this version drop support in revalidate_utf8 for converting locale-encoded strings to utf8? That seems like a regression. It's the only red flag I find in the diff, everything looks ok otherwise, but it may be better to fix the g_list issue via t-p-u anyway, including only this change. (t-p-u is meant to be used for RC bugfixes only; it sounds like you would consider this bug RC, because you say it makes the package "practically useless".) > > - If your package needs to be updated for Etch, and the version in > > unstable doesn't contain extraneous changes (e.g, the version is the > > same between testing and unstable), please upload your fix to > > unstable and contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > - If the version in unstable already includes significant changes not > > related to the bug to be fixed, contact debian-release about > > uploading to testing-proposed-updates.

I can't really judge whether the removed lines are deprecated, I'd have to take your word for it. The change to handling of non-utf8 strings certainly looks significant to me. > Moreover the (damned) auto* stuff stopped working at a certain point , > so I had to regenerate it all: for this reason, a diff of gpr 0.11deb > and 0.12gpr is huge.

I think in conclusion I would prefer t-p-u for this. What is the GError warning you're referring to?
