Dear all,A new month, a fresh plea [1,2] to fix RC bugs in key packages. So, here are again 5 RC bugs in key packages in the hope to draw some attention to this class of bugs. Remember, fixing these bugs is a collective effort.
#913916 grub-efi-amd64 UEFI boot option removed after update to grub2 2.02~beta3-5+deb9u1 https://bugs.debian.org/913916 #987602 src:ca-certificatesca-certificates-java,default-jre-headless,openjdk-11-jre-headless: get rid of the circular dependency
https://bugs.debian.org/987602 #965026 grub-emu grub-emu is unusable with orca nor BRLTTY https://bugs.debian.org/965026 #975490 u-boot-sunxi u-boot-sunxi: A64-Olinuxino-eMMC boot stuck at "Starting kernel ..." https://bugs.debian.org/975490 #991936 openssh-serveropenssh-server: seccomp filter defaults to SIGSYS, could break any libc or kernel upgrade
https://bugs.debian.org/991936I am asking for help with investigating RC bug reports, judging severity, reproducing the issue, clarifying the problem, i.e. bug triaging of all RC bugs that haven't seen activity for a while and that are still affecting bookworm. Of course ideally the bug gets fixed.
Remember, if you really think a bug shouldn't be RC (particularly if you are the maintainer), downgrade it with an explanation. If in doubt, leave you note in the bug report.
The full list I use to check for RC bugs in key packages can be found at [4].
