Source: libgnustep-gui0.27 Version: 0.27.0-5 Severity: important Hello,
this package uses GifQuantizeBuffer() from giflib. The symbol has been dropped in giflib 5.2 (libgif-dev/libgif7 5.2.1 is available in experimental) and therefore the package a) stops working when the gif library package is upgraded and b) if built against libgif-dev >= 5.2 then GIF support is disabled/limited. I do not think giflib did the right thing by dropping the symbol without a soname bump but that is beside the point.[1] Even with the correct way (giflib soname bump) this package loses gif support. I am quite confident that GifQuantizeBuffer() will not be reintroduced - It was ripped out to "reduce libgif size and attack surface". I am reporting this /now/ with severity important, but please treat it as rc issue. cu Andreas [1] I have suggested to upstream to do a soname bump. If this is not accepted we will probably end up with newer libgif7 having a Breaks for GifQuantizeBuffer()-using-software. ------------------------ checking for QuantizeBuffer... no checking for GifQuantizeBuffer... no
