xdg-desktop-portal FTBFS when built with libfuse3-dev

[Graham Inggs]

Fuse3 is a requirement for qemu 6 (LP: #1934510). Since we don't want to support two versions of fuse in main, we'd like reverse-dependencies of fuse to switch to fuse3.

xdg-desktop-portal FTBFS in a test rebuild changing the build-dependency on libfuse-dev to libfuse3-dev.

Excerpt from the build log:

checking for fuse... no

This is effectively a transition in main, so please don't upload until all of the other affected packages are ready.

Thanks, indeed that code needs to be ported to libfuse3, that's something we will add to the desktop team backlog

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0)]

I've done some code for this, the port is at https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/pull/634

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The port is available for review but that's not going to be for impish now, let's aim at landing the transition early next cycle

Hi,
some (qemu, open-vm-tools, fuse3 itself) started to land.
We'd need to have this fixed and ready as well now.

But do not do this in a rush, in bug 1956949 it was found that we need to coordinate this more precisely to move "all at once" to avoid conflicts between fuse <-> fuse3.

Therefore the question, would this be ready for upload now?

This is fixed in 1.12.1-1ubuntu1:

  * debian/conrol:
    - switch to fuse3
  * debian/patches/gitlab-use-fuse3.patch:
    - cherry pick the PR from Trevinho to use fuse3 since it was reviewed
      by James and wanted for the LTS
