Bug Description
The last merge from Debian has this changelog entry:
* Sync with Debian packaging, remaining changes:
- Build without WebP (in universe)
- Own .symbols file
https:/
But libwebp is in main and has been for a while. The only part that's in universe is the webp binary package which is not a dependency of anything (and honestly I don't know why it's not in main too, it's not mentioned on the MIR LP: #1186553 )
https:/
That leaves the only change as using an Ubuntu-specific symbols file. I don't know how Qt symbols work but maybe that's not needed anymore.
Copied to https:/ /launchpad. net/~ci- train-ppa- service/ +archive/ ubuntu/ 2324, to see if it builds successully on all our architectures.
The symbols files are mostly identical, so they should not be a problem.
One thing that bothers me is that after I copy 5.6.1+dfsg-5 to Zesty, the auto-syncer will sync the latest Debian upload (5.7.1~ 20161021+ dfsg-2) which will dep-wait, so there is a risk that my sync won't be able to migrate.
Do you have any ideas how to deal with that?
