Control: affects -1 + src:pidgin-otr
User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package pidgin-otr
[ Reason ]
pidgin-otr is an OTR secure messaging plugin for the XMPP client Pidgin.
Because of a typo in the AppStream metadata file (that was added before the
Trixie freeze), it is not available for installation using GUI in Trixie. This
is a problem since users are not able to find and install the pidgin-otr Add-on
on the Pidgin package details page in pre-installed GUI package managers such
as GNOME Software or KDE Discover.
The package version from unstable proposed for the unblock request fixes the
typo and makes pidgin-otr installable using GUI.
[ Impact ]
Regular users (and even some more experienced ones who prefer GUI) won't be
able to find and install this package using GUI.
[ Tests ]
https://appstream.debian.org/sid/main/metainfo/pidgin-otr.html
https://appstream.debian.org/sid/main/issues/pidgin-otr.html
(Replace "sid" in URL with "trixie".)
[ Risks ]
Low risk or basically none. The patch is very small and simple. Only one xml
tag in one file
(/usr/share/metainfo/ca.cypherpunks.otr.pidgin_otr.metainfo.xml) is changed.
[ Checklist ]
[x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
