Public bug reported: [Impact]
* Users of studio-controls have been reporting bugs against studio- controls upstream on Github. For reference, see https://github.com/ovenwerks/studio-controls/issues/43 * Per the bug report, the following error is being thrown: SystemError: ffi_prep_closure(): bad user_data (it seems that the version of the libffi library seen at runtime is different from the 'ffi.h' file seen at compile-time) * Based on this error, and based on the build time of python-cffi, it appears as though python-cffi was built on an older version of cffi. This explains the error. [Test Case] * A certain number of users have reported that simply running studio- controls causes this error. [Where problems could occur] * Since this is a no-change rebuild being requested, the possibility of breakage is slim to none. We are introducing no new changes here, but rather, resolving a regression that happened as a result of a newer version of cffi being introduced without a rebuild of dependencies. * If any problems happen, it would be a result of applications using python-cffi and expecting this bug with built-in workarounds. I can't imagine such a case exists, so this is just a stretch. ** Affects: python-cffi (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Released ** Affects: python-cffi (Ubuntu Groovy) Importance: High Status: New ** Affects: python-cffi (Ubuntu Hirsute) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Released ** Also affects: python-cffi (Ubuntu Groovy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: python-cffi (Ubuntu Hirsute) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: python-cffi (Ubuntu Hirsute) Status: New => Fix Released ** Changed in: python-cffi (Ubuntu Groovy) 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/1912535 Title: [SRU] python-cffi in Groovy needs a no-change rebuild To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-cffi/+bug/1912535/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
