Severity: normal
Tags: bookworm

Control: affects -1 + src:emacs-libvterm
User: [email protected]
Usertags: pu
[ Reason ]
This update backports the fixes for bug#1115607 from Forky/sid:
elpa-vterm adds a wrong path to Emacs' load-path to find the library
installed by emacs-libvterm. Instead of being an arch:all package that
effectively hard-codes the path to find the shared library using
`/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu' (which is amd64 - where the arch:all package
is built), it should be architecture dependent and point to the correct
`/usr/lib/<triplet>/' path to work.
FYI I have also filed a similar bug#1117469 for Trixie which has been
accepted.
[ Impact ]
Without the fix, elpa-vterm on Bookworm will be unusable on non-amd64
architectures (see bug#1115607 for details).
[ Tests ]
The proposed fix has been manually tested using an aarch64 qemu image.
[ Risks ]
This risk is minimal: it changes the elpa-vterm from arch:all to
arch:any, and adds Multi-Arch hints for both elpa-vterm and
emacs-libvterm.
[ 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
FYI the proposed change has also been pushed to debian/bookworm branch
in the team repo[1].
[ Other Info ]
As bug#1117469 has been accepted for Trixie, I have taken the privilege
and already uploaded to bookworm-proposed-updates so that the Stable
Release Manager can directly review the packages. Hope this is OK.

+ * Backport fix for #1115607 from forky/sid
+ - Make elpa-vterm arch:any: elpa-vterm sets the shard library path
+ according to the host arch. Previously when set as arch:all, the
+ `load-path' is set once during building arch:all package and won't
+ change based on the host arch, resulting in wrong `load-path' in
+ non-amd64 archs.
+ - Add `Multi-Arch: no' hint to elpa-vterm.
+ - Add `Multi-Arch: same' hint to emacs-libvterm. (Closes: #1115607)
