[ QA, testing, regression potential ]

Under the GNOME MRE, you can believe all bugs upstream says are fixed are really fixed. Just test the system and make sure there are no regressions (e.g. look at errors.ubuntu.com).

[Iain Lane (laney)]

There are some tidying-up packaging changes - I think they're okay and you should just debdiff the binaries to make sure no files were dropped by mistake.

Hello Iain, or anyone else affected,

Accepted glib2.0 into yakkety-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/2.50.2-2ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

This update fixes the issues for me and there are currently no noticeable regressions on my Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 GNOME 3.22 64-bit system.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package glib2.0 - 2.50.2-2ubuntu1

---------------
glib2.0 (2.50.2-2ubuntu1) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * No-change backport of this stable release from unstable to 16.04 (LP:
    #1644320)
  * Should fix trashing of files in symlinked directories (LP: #1638245)
  * Should fix display of trash on external drives (LP: #1633824)

glib2.0 (2.50.2-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * debian/rules: disable libmount on !linux (Closes: #844052)
  * debian/patches/0001-Fix-trashing-on-overlayfs.patch: Update with new
    version from the upsstream report to hopefully fix trashing of files in
    directories which are symlinks to different devices. (Closes: #800047)

glib2.0 (2.50.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release.
  * Track stable releases in debian/watch.

glib2.0 (2.50.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Jason Crain ]
  * libglib2.0-bin: includes a new 'gio' commandline tool (Closes: #840164)

  [ Andreas Henriksson ]
  * New upstream release.

glib2.0 (2.50.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Simon McVittie ]
  * Build-depend on tzdata, which is no longer transitively Essential.
    One test needs it. (Closes: #839487)

  [ Michael Biebl ]
  * Fix Vcs-* to point to unstable.
  * Mark dependencies which are required to run the test-suite with
    <!nocheck>.
  * Add explicit Build-Depends on xsltproc, docbook-xml and docbook-xsl.
    Besides libxml2-utils, those are needed for building the man pages.
  * Drop Build-Depends on dbus-x11. The test-suite uses a mock version of
    dbus-launch nowadays, so this dependency is no longer needed.
    (Closes: #835884)
  * Use dh-exec to substitute ${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH} in .install, .links and
    .dirs files.
