[Bug 1928001] Re: [SRU] New stable release 2.68.1

[Brian Murray]

Hello Iain, or anyone else affected,

Accepted glib2.0 into hirsute-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/2.68.1-1~ubuntu21.04.1 in a
few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
hirsute to verification-done-hirsute. If it does not fix the bug for
you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed-hirsute. In either case, without details of your
testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

  [ 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.
