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

[Andrew Hayzen]

Oh sorry, I didn't realise that flatpak was being seeded in some
flavours :-)

The main reason for this sync was to try and fix the issues with
1.8.2-2  which is currently in groovy-proposed, I didn't want this
version to accidentally reach a release pocket. As if the user doesn't
have the accountsservice installed it will cause flatpak not to work
correctly (which might even be the case for some of these seeded
flavours).  1.8.2-3 provides fixes for this.

If 1.8.2-2 is rejected from proposed, then we might not even need to
sync 1.8.2-3 for groovy if the parental controls stuff stays correctly
disabled with 1.8.2-1. And if it does cause issues or we want to enable
it, then I'm happy to do a SRU after release.

The autopkgtests are failing for the package in proposed, so hopefully
it will be rejected.

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
