Title:
[SRU] New stable release 2.64.6
Status in glib2.0 package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in glib2.0 source package in Focal:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[ Description ]
Take this new upstrem stable release.
It was easiest for me to merge the latest release in this series from
Debian, and then import the subsequent point releases on top of that.
Visually in the diff there is one change resulting from this:
splitting a two-patch upstream cherry pick into two individual patch
files. This is cleaner anyway IMO, but is also no change if you look
at the resulting patched source.

[ QA ]
Upstream release, so QA already performed by maintainers
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME
This upload will trigger many autopkgtests that we expect to not be
regressed by this upload.
[ What could go wrong ]
This update contains fixes in multiple places so multiple apps could
be affected. The consequences of a broken GLib can range from some
functions returning bad results sometimes, which have minimal runtime
implications, up to the system simply crashing all the time.
Pretty much all parts of GNOME use GLib, so test anything in the
desktop that you can. If you reboot the machine and can get to the
desktop, that's already tested GLib extensively. But also run
applications like GNOME terminal, Files and Epiphany.
