Dear release team, Please consider the attached update to the units package for trixie. [ Reason ] units can convert currencies; it ships files containing currency exchange rates, prices for various precious metals, and consumer price index data, along with a program to update them from online resources (units_cur). One of those online resources changed its URL format, which breaks units_cur completely (<https://bugs.debian.org/1128412>). [ Impact ] Users can no longer update currency information. [ Tests ] Since this relies on external resources, it isn’t covered by automated tests in Debian; however I have checked that the proposed update fixes the issue. [ Risks ] The change only updates two URLs, the risk is minimal. [ Checklist ] [x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable [x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable [ Changes ] Two URLs now need trailing slashes: https://services.packetizer.com/spotprices becomes https://services.packetizer.com/spotprices/ and https://services.packetizer.com/btc becomes https://services.packetizer.com/btc/ Regards, Stephen
