Public bug reported:
Goobook (https://gitlab.com/goobook/goobook) is a package that makes contact data from a google account available on the command line. It has no other purpose or features and is typically used in MUAs such as Mutt. [Impact] * The current version of goobook (3.4.1) in focal and groovy no longer works and has not worked for several weeks. This is because the method it uses to authenticate to Google has been deprecated by them in favour of an alternative OAuth approach. See https://gitlab.com/goobook/goobook/-/issues/87 * Justification for backporting the fix to the stable release is that all versions of goobook prior to 3.5 are now completely unusable. [Test Case] * apt install goobook && goobook authenticate [Regression Potential] * This package is currently not working at all due to the actions of a third party (Google). This change will make it work again in the way that it is designed to. [Other Info] * Goobook is a trivial package that exists to serve a single purpose. It is presently completely unusable and will remain so until an upstream version of 3.5 or higher is packaged and included in the repositories. * The source tarball can be obtained upstream at: https://gitlab.com/goobook/goobook/-/archive/3.5/goobook-3.5.tar.gz Thank you. ** Affects: goobook (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: needs-packaging -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1898182 Title: GooBook version 3.5 backporting required (SRU request) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/goobook/+bug/1898182/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
