Comment 2 for bug 2064959

Hi Dima

There is nothing attached to this bug ready for sponsoring. Fixes need to be in the development release before they can be backported to stable releases. I'll try to update the status of this bug and propose a way to move forward.

> The problem has been fixed for weeks in Debian when the Ubuntu FTBFS bug came through, and the only reason for the exclusion is the rush to meet the release deadline.

The fixes in mrbuild 1.9-1 and 1.9-2 were only uploaded to Debian on 2024-03-22 and 2024-03-26, both dates being after Debian Import Freeze for Noble, which happened on 2024-02-29 *

Note that gl-image-display was removed in LP: #2058932 due to the removal of pyfltk, so more than fixing mrbuild is required. If the issues are closely related, they can be dealt with under the umbrella of this bug, otherwise additional SRU bugs can be opened.
