Public bug reported:

* Impact

That's the current GNOME stable update, which fixes a number of issues,
including a regression[1] since librsvg 2.40.x which was shipped in
Ubuntu 16.04. The NEWS file[2] summarizes the relevant changes between
Ubuntu 20.04's current librsvg 2.48.7 (that version was also introduced
by an SRU back in July[3]) and the current version 2.48.9. The complete
list of changes is available on GNOME GitLab[4].

* Test case

The update is part of GNOME stable updates[5].

Smoke testing by opening SVG images with eog or importing them with gimp
can be performed to ensure there are no regressions.

* Regression potential

This is a bugfix-only stable micro-release, however librsvg is a core
component with a number of reverse dependencies. A combination of
autopkgtests and manual smoke testing to try and detect SVG rendering
issues should be performed.

* Notes about this report

This is my first SRU request (and at the same time my first launchpad
bug report). I'm not really familiar with the whole SRU process which is
why I first asked about it on Ubuntu's official discourse forum[6].
Canonical's Sebastien Bacher encouraged me to open this ticket. I've
copied over some parts of the last librsvg SRU ticket[3]. I hope this is
fine.

Thanks for considering this SRU.
