** Description changed: Please sync xz-utils 5.6.1-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main) Hello! I am one of the upstream maintainers for XZ Utils. Version 5.6.1 was recently released and uploaded to Debian as a bugfix only release. Notably, this fixes a bug that causes Valgrind to issue a warning on any application dynamically linked with liblzma. This includes a lot of important applications. This could break build scripts and test pipelines that expect specific output from Valgrind in order to pass. Additionally, this fixes a small typo for the man pages translations for Brazilian Portuguese, German, French, Korean, Romanian, and Ukrainian, and removes the need for patches applied for version 5.6.0-0.2. The other bugfixes in this release have no impact on Ubuntu. They involve building with CMake or when building on a system without Landlock system calls defined (these are defined in Ubuntu). Changelog entries since current noble version 5.6.0-0.2: xz-utils (5.6.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium - * Non-maintainer upload. - * Import 5.6.1 (Closes: #1067708). - * Takeover maintenance of the package. + * Non-maintainer upload. + * Import 5.6.1 (Closes: #1067708). + * Takeover maintenance of the package. - -- Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <sebast...@breakpoint.cc> Wed, 27 Mar + -- Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <sebast...@breakpoint.cc> Wed, 27 Mar 2024 22:53:21 +0100 + + + Excerpt from the NEWS entry from upstream: + + 5.6.1 (2024-03-09) + + * liblzma: Fixed two bugs relating to GNU indirect function (IFUNC) + with GCC.
