Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] Control: affects -1 + src:glibc User: [email protected] Usertags: unblock
[ Reason ] The reason for this new version is bug #1110414 which causes some systems to die (spontaneous reboot + impossible boot) when they have systemd-sysv installed. It is not clear at this stage if there are additional conditions. This is due to an improper restore of the code when fixing bug #1108193. Thanks to Helmut for providing the fix quickly. [ Impact ] Without the fix systems die during bookworm to trixie upgrade. [ Tests ] This has been tested by Samuel Thibault: https://salsa.debian.org/glibc-team/glibc/-/merge_requests/30#note_636051 [ Risks ] The change is very targeted, so the risk is quite low. [ 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 [ Other info ] I fully understand this arrives quite late in the release process. If it is not possible to accept this change, please consider that as a trixie-pu request for the next point release. unblock glibc/2.41-12
