I agree that having downstream API differences is bad and that it shouldn't be fixed for cosmic. However, projects / packages other than ubuntu-release-upgrader have had to do extra work because of the SRU of this in Ubuntu 18.04. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/cubic/+bug/1779015 and the changes identified in guake.
We don't know how many other packages / projects have code which expects feed_child() to behave a specific way and changing that underneath them is wrong. There was some discussion in the foundations team meeting regarding the issue. https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2018/07/12/%23ubuntu-meeting.html#t15:30 Please revert this change in Ubuntu 18.04. ** Changed in: vte2.91 (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: Won't Fix => Triaged ** Changed in: vte2.91 (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1780501 Title: Traceback calling Vte.Terminal.feed_child() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1780501/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
