Groovy now has the fix released in util-linux 2.36-2ubuntu1. Focal can now move on.
I've changed the debdiff slightly on the DEP3 headers and version number, small nitpicks. The package builds fine on all architectures in a PPA, and testing is successful: focal-release / fail: $ dpkg -s util-linux | grep -i version: Version: 2.34-0.1ubuntu9 $ ln -sf file-not-found symlink-2 $ rename.ul sym symbolic- symlink-2 rename.ul: symlink-2: not accessible: No such file or directory ppa build / pass: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mfo/lp1886300 $ sudo apt install util-linux $ dpkg -s util-linux | grep -i version: Version: 2.34-0.1ubuntu9.1 $ ln -sf file-not-found symlink-2 $ rename.ul sym symbolic- symlink-2 $ $ ls -l sym* <...> symbolic-link-2 -> file-not-found -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to util-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1886300 Title: rename.ul refuses to rename links that don't resolve (regression) Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in util-linux source package in Focal: In Progress Status in util-linux source package in Groovy: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] rename.ul refuses to rename links that don't resolve. bionic rename.ul renames links whether or not they resolve (util-linux 2.31.1-0.4ubuntu3.6). focal rename.ul refuses to rename links that don't resolve (regression) (util-linux 2.34-0.1ubuntu9).
