Package: gwyddion
Version: 2.57-1
Tags: fixed-upstream
Installing Gwyddion breaks other programs, such as fwupd on Debian.
For example, the file:
/usr/share/fwupd/quirks.d/tpm.quirk
shipped by fwupd is labelled as application/x-stmprg-spm type, and starting the
fwupd daemon causes device detection to break with:
failed to build silo: failed to compile
/usr/share/fwupd/quirks.d/tpm.quirk:ctime=1640972058.748411: cannot process
content type application/x-stmprg-spm
There's also a Lanchpad bug created by affected Ubuntu users:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwupd/+bug/1899036
I have sent a patch to upstream:
https://sourceforge.net/p/gwyddion/mailman/gwyddion-devel/thread/9e1f6694-c39b-6131-796b-667f6e25f7e9%40googlemail.com/#msg37595049
which was merged via:
https://sourceforge.net/p/gwyddion/code/24576/
After applying this patch to the sources, and recreating autoconf, the issue is
resolved. Alternatively, the following patch can be applied to the generated
gwyddion.xml:
