Title:
libplist FTBFS on armhf with bus errors
Status in libplist package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[SRU Justification]
libplist currently fails to build on armhf with bus errors due to unaligned
access, making this not currently security supportable as of 18.04 release.
Since this library is seeded on all desktop images I am not looking to have
this included during the freeze but am making it an SRU instead.
[Test case]
If the package builds from source on all architectures, it has passed its
test suite showing that the new code works on all architectures and produces
correct results.
[Regression potential]
It is possible there may be performance regressions on some other
little-endian architectures besides armhf as a result of this change to the
byte swap implementation. I do not think this would be the case. I don't know
if this code path is performance-sensitive.
