[ Test case and regression potential ]

This update is under the GNOME MRE. Install GLib and run your system for a week or so. If you see any regressions, this SRU has failed. If not, it's OK.

Hello Iain, or anyone else affected,

Accepted glib2.0 into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/2.32.4-0ubuntu1 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 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!

The verification calls for seeing if there are any regressions, it is possible to use errors.ubuntu.com for this with the following url:

https://errors.ubuntu.com/api/1.0/most-common-problems/?format=json&version=2.32.4-0ubuntu1&package=glib2.0&period=year&limit=10&first_appearance=True

This will tells us if there are any crashes that were first reported about the version of the package in precise-proposed. While there is one new bucket it is only reported by one system so I would disregard it.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Given that there are no new crashes, and the bug referenced in the description has been verified - I am changing the tag from v-needed to v-done.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package glib2.0 - 2.32.4-0ubuntu1

---------------
glib2.0 (2.32.4-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (LP: #1154657)
    + GSettings: Don't crash due to incorrect handling of "/" (LP: #1154370)
    + gio: Stop ignoring defaults.list wrongly (LP: #901171)
  * Update watch file to track 2.32 series for Precise
  * debian/control{,.in}: Require libelf-dev >= 0.8.12, per configure.ac
  * gnetworkmonitor_dont_leak_networks.patch: Drop, included in this release.
  * Install bash completion files into /etc/bash_completion.d; overriding an
    upstream change (not appropriate for Precise) to install into
    /usr/share/bash-completion/completions. This change also names the
    completion files correctly (after the commands they are completing for),
    so they will start working now.
