[SRU] darktable "export as web gallery" is broken

[Erich Eickmeyer]

[Impact]

 * A bug was reported upstream in Debian against this package (#713974) in
   which, if one attempts to export photos as a web gallery, it fails.

[Test Case]

 * Import photos into Darktable, do editing as desired.

 * Attempt to export as web gallery

 * Failure occurs (either crash, error, non-responsiveness, or fails
   without error: i.e. does not actually export)

[Where problems could occur]

 * This is a removal dependencies that were included in darktable 3.2.1-2, that should have no effect. The only issues that may occur are package conflicts, but this is highly unlikely as this is essentially a no-change rebuild.

Hello Erich, or anyone else affected,

Accepted darktable into groovy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/darktable/3.2.1-3~ubuntu0.20.10.1 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-groovy to verification-done-groovy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-groovy. 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!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

This does appear to fix the web export issue. Probably not due to the dropped deps, but more due to this being a no-change rebuild against an updated library that wasn't caught prior to Groovy's release.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package darktable - 3.2.1-3~ubuntu0.20.10.1

darktable (3.2.1-3~ubuntu0.20.10.1) groovy; urgency=medium
