Package: calamares
Version: 3.3.0-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: time-t
Hi Jonathan,
Analysis of the archive for the 64-bit time_t transition[0][1] identifies
calamares as a package shipping a library whose ABI changes on 32-bit
architectures with 64-bit time_t.
However, calamares's shlibs file declares a dependency on a library package
name that contains no ABI information:
$ cat DEBIAN/shlibs
libcalamares 3.3 calamares (>= 3.3.0)
libcalamaresui 3.3 calamares (>= 3.3.0)
$
It is therefore not obvious that we should rename the package to
'calamares-t64' as part of this transition.
Looking at the archive, there are packages built from separate source
packages, 'calamares-extensions' and 'calamares-settings-mobian', which
depend on this library.
Since there is no self-evident thing to do with the library package name
here, we will not be handling this package as part of the mass NMUs.
Instead I am filing a serious bug because partial upgrades from bookworm to
trixie on 32-bit architectures (upgrading calamares without also upgrading
worker) will result in ABI skew and may result in broken behavior.
However, since calamares is an installer, maybe upgrades are a non-issue and
all you need is to ensure rebuilds of the three packages in unstable.
Thanks,

Package: calamares
Version: 3.3.1-1
I've uploaded a new calamares about a week ago, so I think you can go
ahead with the extensions and this bug can be closed.
Easy done. Extensions and settings-mobian were uploaded a few days ago,
so lets consider this done.
Thanks.
