A note: hirsute should autosync from Debian once the automatic sync/import system is turned on. This doesn't happen necessarily immediately. Bit too late in the cycle to have a 'sync' for Focal and Groovy, those'll need individual patching/SRUs. -- You received this bug notification because you

I know @teward, and this is probably already fixed in groovy (I've not tested that), but the request is for focal despite what the description says (see comment #1 above). It's specially important for focal since the package is non-functional as it is and focal is an LTS relase. -- You received t

Well, groovy is shipping 4.99.12+dfsg+really4.23.0-1 instead of 4.99.4+dfsg+really4.12.0-1build1: which is in focal. Both are beta releases, so probably both worth syncing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Edubuntu Bugsquad, which is subscribed to calib

I think you've missed my point, which is that it's **extraordinarily rare** we would sync directly from Debian to already-released Ubuntu releases... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Edubuntu Bugsquad, which is subscribed to calibre in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchp

Is it because that would imply syncing dependencies also? I've not checked if that's the case. FWIW the workaround in comment https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/1877180/comments/6 works for me as far as I can see. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Edubuntu Bug

I'm surely requesting an exception here since the package shipped in focal doesn't even start, I believe you cannot go worse than that by syncing. ** Description changed: Please sync calibre 5.3.0+dfsg-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main) - See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.c

I had confused the upstream tracker with the Ubuntu tracker for Calibre, since both live in Launchpad, but now that I've seen the downstream report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calibre/+bug/1898904 it seems like if this started happening recently (I vaguely remember this was working
