Public bug reported: Impact ------ There is a new bugfix release in the stable 2.72 series
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/blob/2.72.3/NEWS Test Case 1 ----------- glib has an extensive test suite. Failing tests will fail the build. This update will also trigger a lot of autopkgtests. Ensure that there aren't autopgktest regressions triggered by this update and that the builds complete successfully Test Case 2 ----------- Pretty much all parts of GNOME use GLib, so test anything in the desktop that you can. If you reboot the machine and can get to the desktop, that's already tested GLib extensively. But also run applications like the terminal, the file browser and epiphany-browser What Could Go Wrong ------------------- This update contains fixes in multiple places so multiple apps could be affected. The consequences of a broken GLib can range from some functions returning bad results sometimes, which have minimal runtime implications, up to the system simply crashing all the time. ** Affects: glib2.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: Fix Committed ** Affects: glib2.0 (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: High Assignee: Jeremy Bicha (jbicha) Status: Triaged ** Tags: jammy upgrade-software-version ** Also affects: glib2.0 (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: glib2.0 (Ubuntu Jammy) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: glib2.0 (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: glib2.0 (Ubuntu Jammy) Assignee: (unassigned) => Jeremy Bicha (jbicha) ** Description changed: Impact ------ + There is a new bugfix release in the stable 2.72 series + + https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/blob/2.72.3/NEWS + + Test Case 1 + ----------- + glib has an extensive test suite. + + Failing tests will fail the build. + This update will also trigger a lot of autopkgtests. + + Ensure that there aren't autopgktest regressions triggered by this + update and that the builds complete successfully + + Test Case 2 + ----------- + Pretty much all parts of GNOME use GLib, so test anything in the desktop that you can.
