The usrmerge transition was completed already in Ubuntu several cycles ago. We should not promote usr-is-merged to main, we should drop the dependencies on it instead.
usrmerge can also be dropped from main now. It is only in main because it is seeded with the rationale: * (usrmerge) # xnox Default since Disco. Will be mandatory in 22.10. Only recommend, such that it is installed on upgrades, can be removed afterwards. The comment is misleading, the commit talking about "mandatory in 22.10" was made in November 2020. We've had a full LTS cycle since then where users, whether on new installs or upgrades, have been in a usrmerge configuration and there is no support for non-usrmerged filesystems in Ubuntu 21.04 or later. So we should drop this recommends, drop usrmerge source from main, and drop dbus's dependency on usr-is-merged. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to dbus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2045668 Title: Please merge dbus 1.14.10-3 (main) from Debian unstable Status in dbus package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: 1.14.10-3 Published in sid-release on 2023-10-30 dbus (1.14.10-3) unstable; urgency=medium * d/control: dbus Depends on usr-is-merged (>= 38~). Non-merged /usr has been unsupported since Debian 12, as per Technical Committee resolutions #978636 and #994388 (please see the Debian 12 release notes for details). The version of usr-is-merged shipped in Debian 12 had an undocumented opt-out mechanism intended for use on buildds and QA systems targeting Debian 12 (piuparts, reproducible-builds, autopkgtest and similar), to ensure that the upgrade path from Debian 11 to 12 will continue to work and continue to undergo automated tests. That opt-out is no longer applicable or available in trixie/sid, and was removed in usrmerge version 38. Since version 1.14.10-2, dbus ships its systemd units in /usr/lib/systemd/system, as part of the distro-wide transition away from making use of "aliased" paths. This is entirely valid on merged-/usr systems, but will no longer work in the unsupported filesystem layout with non-merged /usr, because for historical reasons, current versions of systemd on non-merged-/usr systems will only read units from /lib/systemd/system. In the case of dbus, the symptom when this assumption is broken is particularly bad (various key system services will not start, with long delays during boot, login and shutdown), so let's hold back this upgrade on unsupported non-merged-/usr systems until they have completed the switch to merged-/usr and can install usr-is-merged (>= 38~). (Closes: #1054650) -- Simon McVittie <s...@debian.org> Mon, 30 Oct 2023 11:51:35 +0000 1.14.10-2 Superseded in sid-release on 2023-10-30 dbus (1.14.10-2) unstable; urgency=low * Backport packaging changes from experimental: - Install systemd system units into /usr/lib/systemd/system. This was allowed by TC resolution #1053901. The shared library is still in /lib, for now. Build-depend on debhelper 13.11.6~ to ensure that the units are still picked up by dh_installsystemd. - Build-depend on pkgconf rather than pkg-config - dbus-x11: Don't copy XDG_SEAT_PATH, XDG_SESSION_PATH to activation environment. These variables are specific to a single login session. * d/copyright: Drop unused entry for pkg.m4. This is no longer included in the upstream source release since 1.14.6. * d/dbus-tests.lintian-overrides: Drop unused overrides. Lintian no longer flags our RUNPATH as problematic. -- Simon McVittie <s...@debian.org> Wed, 25 Oct 2023 15:56:36 +0100 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/2045668/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
