Thorsten: Yeah, this seems pretty broken. The correct answer here is probably to backport the 5.1 packages into -updates (an SRU: Stable release update). Ubuntu backports isn't for fixing bugs.
The SRU policy calls for minimal patches, but if you don't think that's possible, then I guess we don't have much choice here. These packages seem broken enough that there couldn't be any negative consequence to doing this, right? It seems like the least bad (and only) option. Are you still happy with fusionforge going into newer Ubuntu releases? For future reference: The release team takes care of the current devel release, not previous ones, but the SRU team and backporters are well represented within the release team, so your message is getting through. Also, the SRU team (like the Debian release team) reviews and approves uploads rather than preparing them themselves. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/869986 Title: Fusionforge fails-to-install cleanup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fusionforge/+bug/869986/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
