Update mutter to 45.2

noble-proposed still only has 45.1-2ubuntu1, btw. It should get 45.2 before this update is released to mantic. I updated the main bug status to reflect that noble isn't fixed nor committed yet.

Hello Jeremy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted mutter into mantic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/45.2-0ubuntu1 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-mantic to verification-done-mantic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-mantic. 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.

Also, before release, please someone clarify this statement about a mesa regression in noble with 45.1 presumably:

"It will get updated to 45.2 (and eventually to 46) after a mesa regression is handled."

All autopkgtests for the newly accepted mutter (45.2-0ubuntu1) for mantic have finished running.
The following regressions have been reported in tests triggered by the package:

mutter/45.2-0ubuntu1 (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 mesa regression I referred to was in Noble mesa 23.3.0-1ubuntu1 but fixed in 23.3.0-2ubuntu1

The verification of the Stable Release Update for mutter has completed successfully and the package is now being released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

I am reopening this issue because this update was reverted to avoid a regression. The update will be proposed again in January.

To help the SRU team review, I am attaching a debdiff comparing my proposed upload today with mutter 45.2-0ubuntu1 which was briefly in mantic-updates before the end of year holidays.
