Package: edfbrowser Version: 2.12+dfsg-1 Severity: important EDFbrowser contains a runtime check for libedf version. Since edfbrowser 2.11 the required version of edflib is 1.27 (exact, not greater-or-equal). If the version check fails, the UI is disabled and the program is unusable.
Debian currently ships EDFlib 1.26, meaning that the versions of edfbrowser in testing and unstable (2.11 and 2.12 respectively) cannot be used. Upstream has not made a release of EDFlib 1.27, which presumably is the reason for Debian not having packaged it. However upstream also includes an embedded copy of edflib in the edfbrowser repository, which is up to date. Debian has removed this embedded copy in favor of using a shared library package. The fix is probably to package a prerelease version of EDFlib 1.27, but I'm filing this bug in edfbrowser because that's what's broken for me. Also it would be a good idea to make edfbrowser depend on an exact version of edflib, to match the runtime check in the code. -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.10.7-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages edfbrowser depends on: ii libc6 2.40-2 ii libedf1 1.26-1 ii libgcc-s1 14.2.0-4 ii libqt5core5t64 5.15.13+dfsg-4 ii libqt5gui5t64 5.15.13+dfsg-4 ii libqt5network5t64 5.15.13+dfsg-4 ii libqt5printsupport5t64 5.15.13+dfsg-4 ii libqt5widgets5t64 5.15.13+dfsg-4 ii libstdc++6 14.2.0-4 edfbrowser recommends no packages. edfbrowser suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
