** Description changed: Impact ------ apt can struggle with ordering when handling the massive Y2028 time_t transition when upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. It was identified that dropping the libglib2.0-0 transitional package can help apt do things in the correct order. Test Case --------- Is libglib2.0-0 built? + Where Problems Could Occur + -------------------------- + We have landed the change from this SRU in Debian Unstable and it successfully migrated to Debian Testing on April 27 as one of the first t64 packages to migrate there. + + This SRU was recommended by Julian Klode, the apt maintainer for Debian + and Ubuntu. + + The original transitional package was added by Simon McVittie in hopes + that it would help apt be able to calculate the upgrade easier. At least + in the Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 LTS → 24.04 LTS case, it looks like it was + the opposite. + + Hmm, we can't actually drop libglib2.0-0 after release, can we? + Other Info ---------- This is related to LP: #2061918 for the thunderbird deb to snap upgrade There are likely several other Launchpad bugs that can be resolved by this update and some other workarounds in other packages, like in the transitional thunderbird package. https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/glib/-/merge_requests/34
