** Description changed: - The current version of libosmgpsmap (osm-gps-map) uses a "wrong" user- - agent when querying tiles from tile.openstreetmap.org. This leads to no - map shown. This has been fixed upstream and reported in - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=745860 + [Impact] + * The bug is really that libosmgpsmap does not follow OpenStreetMap's policy for accessing the tiles. The HTTP User-Agent must be valid. Therefore, OpenStreetMap has blocked access, and libosmpsmap is therefore unusable in many cases. It has been fixed upstream and is therefore also fixed in the proposed version for Utopic. + + * A consequence of the bug is that programs such as "gpxviewer" + (available via universe/misc) simply does not display any map. + + * The fix should be backported to a stable release because Ubuntu users + will not be able to use programs such as gpxviewer properly in Trusty + (and Saucy and Precise) if it is not fixed. + + * The fix changes the User-Agent to "libosmgpsmap/0.7.3" so that + OpenStreetMap's tile server can see what is really downloading the + tiles. The fix also makes it possible to build the package from source + (FTBFS #1312890). + + [Test Case] + * Install gpxviewer: apt-get install gpxviewer + * Run "gpxviwer". Zoom in on the map. If the map does not update, the bug is present - if it does update, the bug has been fixed! + + [Regression Potential] + * Very small fix, so low regression risk + * Since the fix also fixes the FTBFS problem, it should be tested well to see that all the files earlier present in the binary package (built last in quantal) still are present. + + + [Original description] + The current version of libosmgpsmap (osm-gps-map) uses a "wrong" user-agent when querying tiles from tile.openstreetmap.org. This leads to no map shown. This has been fixed upstream and reported in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=745860 This bug report contains a patch for fixing it in Ubuntu Trusty and it would be good to get it in.
