Flickr upload authentication fails in Shotwell 0.28

[Chris]

* Impact
Publishing to Flickr doesn't work, authentification is failing

* Test
Choosing "publish" and then Flickr requires me to log into my Flickr account. All seems to go well until the final click, where I am given a "authorisation failed" message.

* Regression potential
The change is in the publishing plugins, check that google and flickr publishing are working

Looking at gitlab.gnome suggests this is a known bug which was fixed in 0.30, but Gnome don't support 0.28 which is the LTS in 18.04
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/shotwell/issues/80

Can Ubuntu backport this fix please?

Hello Chris, or anyone else affected,

Accepted shotwell into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/0.28.4-0ubuntu2 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, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

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

Hi Brian,

thanks for the update. I used Software Boutique to add 'proposed' source. Running "sudo apt-get install shotwell" pulled the new version, along with shotwell-common.

Shotwell now correctly logs into flikr and is able to upload photos and videos.

Many thanks.
