The Lintian side of this bug is in bug 2084708. ** Description changed:
[ Impact ] + + * This blocks the SRU tracked in bug 2084708. * A change in debhelper caused a regression in packages which used arch- specific debhelper configs. * This regression in particular causes lintian to FTBFS due to failing build-time tests which rely on specifying arch-specific lintian overrides ( e.g. package_name.lintian-overrides.amd64). This SRU will ensure lintian can build in Oracular and will not block other SRUs of packages which rely on these types of overrides. * The upload fixes the regression by cherry-picking changes from upstream Debian to handle architecture specific overrides[0]. [0] https://salsa.debian.org/debian/debhelper/-/commit/214c2a299dfcc1f0cb79ea4a0e80d67df54be19a [ Test Plan ] * Rebuild Lintian with the new version of debhelper, ensure it builds, and autopkgtests pass. * Ensure debhelpers autopkgtests and rev-dep's autopkgtests pass [ Where problems could occur ] * The upload overall feels low risk. The low hanging fruit here is that the patch is applied incorrectly (typo, incomplete, etc) and would cause the issue to not be fixed or even to cause debhelper to FTBFS now. I've demonstrated this isn't the case with passing PPA builds of both debhelper and lintian. * The more interesting scenario would be the potential for other packages which rely on the faulty behavior and will now appear to regress with the inclusion of the correct overrides. Although this would have to be something pretty contrived - like the lintian build tests which check for the existence of the overrides - since lintian overrides (AFAIU) typically suppress warning/errors instead of generating them. - [ Original Description ] lintian 2.118.0ubuntu1 had previously built[0], but now fails to build from source [1]. Version 2.118.2ubuntu1 stuck in oracular-proposed currently fails to build for the same reason.
