[07:41] <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??,
[07:42] <guiverc> s/chance/change/ ^
[07:52] <tomreyn> guiverc: i'd file a new bug and point to the previous report.
[07:53] <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]
[07:55] <guiverc> i added tag bionic; since that was what I was trying to 'help' with (marked duplicate of now)
[07:55] <guiverc> thanks tomreyn :)
[07:58] <tomreyn> so apparently this should require an SRU
[08:00] <tomreyn> of the fix in comment 49 - msttcorefonts (3.7ubuntu5) from eoan to bionic and xenial
[08:01] <guiverc> can I do something (dumb & simple) to flag it?  [beyond asking here..]
[08:05] <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,
[08:07] <tomreyn> but there's also a report that eoan is still affected (54), which puzzles me, since it should be fixed there (3.7ubuntu6)
[08:08] <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..
[08:09] <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
[08:10] <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
[08:13] <guiverc> thanks tomreyn ... will chase up
[08:15] <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
[08:16] <tomreyn> sorry the hook intorduced in 3.7ubuntu4
[08:34] <guiverc> thanks again tomreyn , email sent
[08:40] <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. ;)
