Because reproducing this bug is dependent on filesystem order across multiple buildds, testing the fix in SRU is non-trivial. However, the same patch applied to precise has now resulted in all mismatched gzip- compressed docs being fixed after a rebuild (about 5 other packages were affected).
I think that, plus the fact that every subsequent SRU to oneiric has been using this version and there have been no complaints, is sufficient validation and the SRU should be promoted. Marking 'verification-done'. When publishing to -updates, please note that this should also be published to -security in coordination with the security team, so that subsequent security updates don't risk regressing multiarch support. ** Tags removed: verification-needed ** Tags added: verification-done -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/871083 Title: gzip -9n sometimes generates a different output file on different architectures Status in “clutter-1.0” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gzip” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “libtasn1-3” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “pam” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gzip” source package in Oneiric: Fix Committed Status in “pam” source package in Oneiric: Fix Released Status in “clutter-1.0” source package in Precise: Triaged Status in “gtk+2.0” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “gzip” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “libtasn1-3” source package in Precise: Triaged Status in “pam” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “gzip” package in Debian: New Bug description: SRU justification: libpam-modules is not multiarch-coinstallable because of unexplained misgeneration of compressed manpages on the buildds in a previous run. This makes it impossible to use pam authentication for foreign-arch software due to the uninstallable modules, and also causes unpleasant upgrade issues. Test case: 1) on amd64, enable armel in addition to i386 as a foreign architecture by running: echo 'foreign-architecture armel' >> /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch-armel echo 'deb [arch=armel] http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ oneiric main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update 2) try to install libpam-modules for the other two architectures by running 'apt-get install libpam-modules:i386 libpam-modules:armel' 3) confirm that both packages fail to install. 4) enable oneiric-proposed (including for armel above). 5) try to install libpam-modules for all three architectures by running 'apt-get install libpam-modules libpam-modules:i386 libpam-modules:armel' 6) confirm that the packages install successfully. error while updating ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: libpam-modules 1.1.3-2ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-11.50-generic 2.6.38.8 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-11-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: wl ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sat Oct 8 18:57:52 2011 ErrorMessage: ErrorMessage: './usr/share/man/man8/pam_shells.8.gz' is different from the same file on the system InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110427.1) SourcePackage: pam Title: package libpam-modules 1.1.3-2ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: './usr/share/man/man8/pam_shells.8.gz' is different from the same file on the system UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-10-09 (0 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clutter-1.0/+bug/871083/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
