** Description changed: + SRU JUSTIFICATION: orbit2 is part of the core GNOME2 library stack. + Although GNOME2 is itself deprecated, there is still plenty of software + using these libraries, and some of this software is only available as + 32-bit software (in some cases because it's non-free and binary-only). + It's important to have good support for such software in an LTS release, + since users of such software will often stick with the LTS. + + This SRU is part of a set together with libart-lgpl, libbonobo, + libbonoboui, and gnome-vfs. + + REGRESSION POTENTIAL: orbit2 loads dynamic objects from the filesystem. + This means that there's potential for regression of reverse-dependencies + to failing to find the library at build time, but also potential for + regression at runtime due to orbit2 failing to load objects. This must + be tested thoroughly before promotion as an SRU. + + TEST CASE: + 1. Install liborbit2 from precise on an amd64 machine. + 2. Try to install liborbit2:i386. Note that it wants to remove liborbit2. Abort the installation. + 3. enable -proposed. Try to install liborbit2:i386 again. Note that it wants to upgrade liborbit2 and install liborbit2:i386. Accept the upgrade. + 4. confirm that the packages install successfully. + 5. install liborbit2-dev from -proposed. Rebuild all packages that build-depend on liborbit2-dev to verify that they build successfully with no changes to the package contents or dependencies.

This package is still required by some third party applications.
