Hi Jeremy, This looks mostly good, AFAICT.
Could you please complete the SRU bug template by adding the section 'Where problems could occur' / 'Regression potential'? [1] And although the 'Test Case' is feasible to understand, based on the 'Impact' section, it would be nice to have a 'functional' test, if at all possible/reasonably doable. For example, I tried to reproduce the thunderbird deb2snap issue, but it didn't. I realize there might be a more complex package setup/install list to trigger it, but maybe there's something simpler that you are aware of. (Or if it's too complex / not worth it, just clarifying that and mentioning what shouldn't change / how to check for no regressions, would be OK too; I tried to convey that in comment #1). Thanks!

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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/+bug/2063221/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
