Please unblock package altos The altos package is apparently scheduled for autoremoval from testing due to bug #1036022. A fix for that bug is present in version 1.9.16-2. [ Reason ] Prevent removal of altos from testing due to a file overlap with lprint. [ Impact ] Removal of altos from testing (and the upcoming stable release) would disappoint users of the package. [ Tests ] The 1.9.16 upstream release was thorough tested and has been in heavy use by many users across multiple platforms (Linux, Windows, MacOS, Android) for about a month with no new bugs reported. The -2 upload to Debian is a minimal packaging update to fix the file overlap bug. [ Risks ] The altos package is not depended on by any other Debian package, and users of the package would universally prefer 1.9.16-2 to 1.9.15-1. The risk of an unblock therefore seems VERY low. While there were a number of changes between 1.9.15 and 1.9.16, 1.9.16 is well tested and in heavy use. The change for the -2 upload was a one-line change of the delivery path for a rarely-used systemd unit file in the packaging scripts (that is not enabled by default). [ Checklist ] [X] all changes are documented in the d/changelog [X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [ ] attach debdiff against the package in testing [ Other info ] I am both an upstream and Debian package maintainer of altos. unblock altos/1.9.16-2
