Package: atheme-services Version: 7.2.12-1 Severity: serious User: debian-...@lists.debian.org Usertags: time-t
Dear maintainers, Analysis of the archive for the 64-bit time_t transition[0][1] identifies atheme-services as an affected package, on the basis that the headers could not be compiled and analyzed out of the box using abi-compliance-checker[2], so we have to assume it's affected. However, atheme-services' shlibs file declares a dependency on a library package name that contains no ABI information: $ cat DEBIAN/shlibs libathemecore 1 atheme-services (>= 7.2.12) libmowgli-2 0 atheme-services (>= 7.2.12) $ It is therefore not obvious that we should rename the package to 'atheme-services-t64' as part of this transition. Looking at the archive, the only package that depends on these libraries is atheme-services-contrib, built from the same source package. Since there is no self-evident thing to do with the library package name here, and it's not certain that the library ABIs are affected by 64-bit time_t, and the only reverse dependency is from the same source package (so this is an internal transition), we will not be handling this package as part of the mass NMUs. However, I am filing a serious bug because partial upgrades from bookworm to trixie on 32-bit architectures (upgrading atheme-services without also upgrading atheme-services-contrib) MAY result in ABI skew and broken behavior. So as maintainers, you should decide how you want to handle this. (Maybe sufficient to, after the dpkg changes land, upload with bumping the versioned dep on atheme-services and adding a versioned breaks on atheme-services-contrib.)
