| guiverc | if a fix-released (artful) bug reoccurs; what is required to chance status? (occurs in 18.04/19.04/19.10) or should a report etc be made somewhere??, | 07:41 |
|---|---|---|
| guiverc | s/chance/change/ ^ | 07:42 |
| tomreyn | guiverc: i'd file a new bug and point to the previous report. | 07:52 |
| guiverc | not mine... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/1713615 | 07:53 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 1713615 in ubuntu-restricted-extras (Ubuntu) "ttf-mscorefonts-installer fails because Redirection from https to http is forbidden" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 07:53 |
| guiverc | i added tag bionic; since that was what I was trying to 'help' with (marked duplicate of now) | 07:55 |
| guiverc | thanks tomreyn :) | 07:55 |
| tomreyn | so apparently this should require an SRU | 07:58 |
| tomreyn | of the fix in comment 49 - msttcorefonts (3.7ubuntu5) from eoan to bionic and xenial | 08:00 |
| guiverc | can I do something (dumb & simple) to flag it? [beyond asking here..] | 08:01 |
| tomreyn | actually i'm not sure about the need for SRU ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates ) - the 'patch' (replacing sourceforge download urls by github download urls) could probably be backported, | 08:05 |
| tomreyn | but there's also a report that eoan is still affected (54), which puzzles me, since it should be fixed there (3.7ubuntu6) | 08:07 |
| guiverc | it's not impacting all systems, my interest started with 1840199 where I loaded the package into my lubu 18.04 without any issue.. | 08:08 |
| tomreyn | it's a package doing a network transaction during installation, those tend to fail in all kinds of unreproducible ways due to the network layer | 08:09 |
| guiverc | yep, but :( | 08:10 |
| tomreyn | maybe you could talk to juliank who provided the previous fix, see if he would be willing to spend more work on it, or could suggest a way forward | 08:10 |
| guiverc | thanks tomreyn ... will chase up | 08:13 |
| tomreyn | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+changelog looks like you'd want to continue downloading from sf.net but with update-notifier hook introduced in 3.7ubuntu5 - assuming this hook will already work in xenial + bionic | 08:15 |
| tomreyn | sorry the hook intorduced in 3.7ubuntu4 | 08:16 |
| guiverc | thanks again tomreyn , email sent | 08:34 |
| tomreyn | guiverc: i'm not convinced i'm any more qualified than you are to handle this, but am happy to put another pairs of eyes on it. ;) | 08:40 |
