Control: affects -1 + src:matlab-support
User: [email protected]
Usertags: pu
[ Reason ]
matlab-support provides Debian integration for MATLAB, a piece of proprietary
software.
The version of matlab-support currently in trixie offers the possibility to
rename some libraries vendored by MATLAB and also present in Debian.
However, if the option is accepted by the user, this could lead to a broken
MATLAB installation. This issue is tracked by #1120681.
[ Impact ]
If this p-u is not approved, the user may end up with a broken MATLAB
installation after installing matlab-support and accepting the corresponding
Debconf question.
[ Tests ]
It’s not possible to automatically test this change since it relies on nonfree
software. However, manual testing has been done.
[ Risks ]
Risk is very limited since matlab-support only provides some helpers around
MATLAB, which itself is not in Debian.
[ 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 (old)stable
[X] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
[ Changes ]
- drop libvulkan.so.1 and libfreetype.so.6 from the list of vendored libraries
that are to be renamed
- incidentally, no longer list libvulkan1 and libfreetype6 in the Recommends of
matlab-support, since the vendored version will be present
