SRU the current 0.20.4 stable update

Hello Sebastien, or anyone else affected,

Accepted libsecret into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsecret/0.20.4-0ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

I missed that Groovy will have a lower version number than Focal. Could you also SRU this for Groovy?

All autopkgtests for the newly accepted libsecret (0.20.4-0ubuntu1) for focal have finished running.
The following regressions have been reported in tests triggered by the package:

pinentry/1.1.0-3build1 (armhf)

Please visit the excuses page listed below and investigate the failures, proceeding afterwards as per the StableReleaseUpdates policy regarding autopkgtest regressions [1].

Thank you!

The pinenty test was successful after a retry

The 0.20.4-0ubuntu1 update works as expected, accessing the keyring is working. Trying to open a protected pdf in evince the password is correctly stored and re-used after trying to open the document again.

Hey Seb! This is a candidate for release into -updates, but I don't think we can do that while it supersedes any package in Groovy.

I understand that the Desktop team has constrained resources. The SRU team intends to propose a policy change to help, but for now could you please do a Groovy upload too?

@Chris, would you need the SRU in proposed or to migrate to updates? If that's the later I don't think we want to waste verification resources on that at the moment, in which case we would rather delay copying until we stop doing SRUs for 20.10, sorry for the LTS users waiting for the update

Part of the argument for requiring the package being SRU'ed to be available in the release to which you'd upgrade is that we don't want to regress users when they upgrade to the next release or prevent their ability to upgrade by creating a scenario for which an upgrade cannot be calculated. Having said that I installed the libsecret binary packages from -proposed for Focal and then attempted an upgrade from Focal to Groovy, this was successfully calculated and the libsecret binary packages were kept at the same version. Subsequently, I think it is okay to release libsecret for Focal.

This bug was fixed in the package libsecret - 0.20.4-0ubuntu1
