Please unblock package xscreensaver 6.06+dfsg1-3 [ Reason ] A couple of upstream crash regressions were introduced in 6.06, and these are fixed in 6.06+dfsg1-3 (#1030909, #1030659). There was also a regression where DPMS settings were reset, causing lack of power saving, the patch from upstream was included for this (#1031076). A missing dependency was fixed together with a correction of internal dependencies between the binary packages. A translation was broken simply because of wrong po file encoding (seen on l10n status report). [ Impact ] The user won't be able to set XScreenSaver preferences because the preference window crashes. The user will unknowingly leave the power settings disabled and waste electricity. The missing dependencies would prevent screensaver modes from functioning. [ Tests ] Bug reporters have verified the fixes in 6.06+dfsg1-3. I could myself reproduce the issues and their fixes. There have been no new issues or regressions reported since 6.06+dfsg1-3 was uploaded 21 days ago. [ Risks ] The most complex crash issue was analyzed in depth by upstream and GTK developers, so the applied solution is well understood. The other fixes are relatively trivial and the risk is low that they have any unintentional effects. [ 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 testing [ Other info ] Attachments: xscreensaver_6.06+dfsg1-3.debdiff
