gvfs/1.54.0-1ubuntu2 (s390x) Please visit the excuses page listed below and investigate the failures, proceeding afterwards as per the StableReleaseUpdates policy regarding autopkgtest regressions [1]. https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed- migration/noble/update_excuses.html#gnome-online-accounts [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Autopkgtest_Regressions Thank you! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gnome-online-accounts in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2072782 Title: Update gnome-online-accounts to 3.50.4 Status in gnome-online-accounts package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in gnome-online-accounts source package in Noble: Fix Committed Bug description: Impact ====== This is a new bugfix release in the stable 3.50.x series. It significantly improves the usability of the new "Microsoft 365" provider. However, that UI improvement changed translatable strings. See Other Info below. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-online- accounts/-/blob/3.50.4/NEWS It also improves the new WebDAV account type for Fastmail users. LP: #2072775 Test Cases ========== The autopkgtests for gnome-online-accounts should complete successfully Complete Test Case 2 (Google) from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/OnlineAccounts What Could Go Wrong =================== gnome-online-accounts is included by default in Ubuntu Desktop, Edubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie & Ubuntu Cinnamon. If gnome-online-accounts is broken, people using Ubuntu may not receive notifications for emails and calendar appointments. This can be mitigated somewhat by using online services via a web browser and enabling notifications in their web browser. Before Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, gnome-online-accounts used webkit2gtk to handle authentication. By using the browser, gnome-online-accounts can handle many additional types of authentication and is more resilient to API changes and restrictions from the online service providers. GNOME Online Accounts is part of GNOME Core and is included in the GNOME micro release exception https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME Other Info ========== This update includes changes to translatable strings. This package uses Ubuntu language packs. Because language packs are only updated shortly before each Ubuntu LTS point release, ideally this update will be included before the language packs are updated. The Ubuntu Desktop team considers the effect of changing translatable strings to be low because the changed strings were very new and weren't translated much. The strings are part of the Microsoft 365 feature that is new in GNOME 46. The updated strings have been available upstream since late May and the translation coverage is better although still incomplete. We will likely do another SRU to include another upstream bugfix release (with updated translations) before Ubuntu 24.04.2. An update to translatable strings like this after a GNOME .0 release is very unusual. However, it was approved by the GNOME Release Team. Screenshots and more info at https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Translation/Coordination/-/issues/158 The backend library .symbols file indicates one removed symbol. It has been upstream's opinion for many years that the backend library is internal API and is subject to change. gnome-control-center is the only user of the backend API for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and it never used that symbol. There is a separate frontend library, libgoa-1.0-0b, where it would be a serious issue if symbols were removed without the soname being bumped.
