Hello!
cubemap 1.5.1-1 introduced a new file into
/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}. This is diametral to the ongoing
UsrMerge effort [1].
This having already happened in unstable is somewhat unfortunate,
because it now presents extra work.
As long as this has not reached testing, the easiest thing to do
would be:
Immediately upload a new version of cubemap, which fulfills all of:
1) install ffmpeg_metacube_hack.so into /usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}
2) stop creating /lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}
3) does exactly no other changes
and let that migrate, and then we can pretend this never happened.
If for some reason this timing is not possible, I would encourage
you to do all of the following:
Upload a new version of cubemap to *experimental* which:
1) installs ffmpeg_metacube_hack.so into /usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}
2) stops creating /lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}
and let it stay in experimental for a few days, so dumat[1] and
humans can analyze the change.
In addition, if src:cubemap will introduce any other changes during
the trixie cycle (file moves, package renames, splits, any other
reorganization), please also upload to experimental for the same
benefit as above.
Thanks,
Chris
