[Bug 1900063] Re: Sync flatpak 1.8.2-3 (universe) from Debian sid (main)

[Thomas Ward]

Hello.

According to the tool to indicate whether a package is seeded or not,
Flatpak is currently seeded in Ubuntu Budgie and Xubuntu:

$ seeded-in-ubuntu flatpak
flatpak (from flatpak) is seeded in:
  ubuntu-budgie: supported
  xubuntu: supported
gir1.2-flatpak-1.0 (from flatpak) is seeded in:
  ubuntu-budgie: supported
  xubuntu: supported
libflatpak-dev (from flatpak) is seeded in:
  ubuntu-budgie: supported
  xubuntu: supported
libflatpak0 (from flatpak) is seeded in:
  ubuntu-budgie: supported
  xubuntu: supported

Ubuntu is now in Final Freeze - per the Final Freeze announcement [1],
packages need to fit one of these two categories:


1) Release critical bugs that affect ISOs, installers, or otherwise
   can't be fixed easily post-release.

2) Bug fixes that would be suitable for post-release SRUs, which we may
   choose to accept, reject, or shunt to -updates for 0-day SRUs on a
   case-by-case basis.  This second case should have SRU-style bugs filed
   with the appropriate template, referenced in changelog.


I don't see a justification included on the sync request that would put this request into either of the categories as this does not have any SRU template.

The only new changes I can see here are that it has a dependency on
DBus, but that you fix an issue with Parental Control checks.  That's
likely SRUable post-release.

However, I don't see justification to sync this at this time given we
are in Final Freeze.

Title:
  Sync flatpak 1.8.2-3 (universe) from Debian sid (main)

Status in flatpak package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Please sync flatpak 1.8.2-3 (universe) from Debian sid (main)

  Changelog entries since current groovy version 1.8.2-2:

  flatpak (1.8.2-3) unstable; urgency=medium

    * d/p/Skip-parental-controls-checks-on-ServiceUnknown-or-NameHa.patch:
      Add proposed patch to skip parental controls if accountsservice is not
      installed.
      The malcontent package (which activates parental controls support)
      depends on accountsservice, but the libmalcontent-0-0 client library
      does not, so we need to cope gracefully with the case where
      neither malcontent nor accountsservice is installed. Presumably, in such
      installations the sysadmin did not want the parental controls feature.
      Ideally libmalcontent would do this itself (#972145). (Closes: #972138)
    * Add Depends on dbus, for the well-known system bus service.
      Now that the parental controls feature is enabled, Flatpak will refuse
      to run apps if the D-Bus system bus is unavailable. Previously, it would
      have partially worked (but with severely reduced functionality, in
      particular only --user installations).
    * d/control: Canonicalize case of Multi-Arch
    * Update lintian overrides to silence some false-positives
