Package: git-annex Version: 8.20210223-2 Severity: normal There have been some two related fixes upstream since this version to bugs that affect a sizable number of git-annex users, and make git-annex fairly unusable. (Unable to send content to remotes, which a crucial part of many workflows. I'll leave you to decide the real severity.)
These problems were introduced in the upgrade to git-annex version 8. I noticed Debian needs to be fixed because a user reported both of problems after upgrading their Debian system to this version. https://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/sync_failing_after_debian_bullseye_upgrade/ The original bug report for both issues was https://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/__34__failed_to_send_content_to_remote__34__/ The "content changed while it was being sent" was fixed in git-annex 8.20210803, in commit 3b5a3e168d8decd196509ad582ad4b8795d979a6 The "failed to send content to remote" was fixed in the same version, in a series of commits. I think all of these commits are necessary but have not verified. 73e0cbbb19703f08daf783d8788370726f852162 a30656037459b4006ba6ec12bd1cb4e705d04ea8 817ccbbc47156c24aade4c6c4dc0c195332a991e d2aead67bd17faac753ccf41964789a3a62ddaf3 It may be that this second commit sequence also fixes the prior problem, since I think they had the same root cause. But I have not tested git-annex without both fixes. -- see shy jo
