[SRU] Update soundconverter with backported bugfixes for 2.0.4

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Sorry for the wait, busy time.
Here is my try of getting a correct debdiff

The attachment "soundconverter.debdiff" seems to be a debdiff. The ubuntu-sponsors team has been subscribed to the bug report so that they can review and hopefully sponsor the debdiff. If the attachment isn't a patch, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are member of the ~ubuntu-sponsors, unsubscribe the team.

Thanks for the excellent fix/debdiff, I had bumped into the bug myself too! I changed the version number to ubuntu1.1 instead of ubuntu2 like is the habit on SRU:s, and added "#" in the front of the bug numbers.

This bug will be updated by a bot when the SRU is ready for testing in the -proposed pocket. Until then it's visible in the Unapproved queue at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+queue?queue_state=1&queue_text=

(I forgot to mention, I built it for myself too and successfully now extracted audio from video unlike before the fixes)

Thank you, but the credit for the excellent debdiff goes to Javier Lopez from ubuntu-devel mailing list who hinted me all the steps.

So we just have to wait for the bot now, right?

@Michele: Yes, we wait now for the SRU team to manually process/review the queue (may take some time), after which the bug will be updated. So it's not automatic as such.

Hello Michele, or anyone else affected,

Accepted soundconverter into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/soundconverter/2.0.4-0ubuntu1.1 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 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, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

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

Obviously it works for me XD

The verification of the Stable Release Update for soundconverter has completed successfully and the package has now been 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.

Unfortunately the update has been put on hold since while it was being distributed to the first 10% of people new crashes started appearing: https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/a6eb66f467c592b449dfc595fe290d8a1bfa971e

I did not see this during my testing and I'm not sure if it's fatal, but the upgrade can't proceed before it's investigated.

Phased updates are shown at http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/phased-updates.html

Unfortunately I don't have access to the link, so I can't view related data

Running soundconverter from terminal I get the same error, but the file gets converted successfully anyway. I'll investigate on it.

Wep, overlooked this. The debug() function is aliased by parse_error()

The fix is there : https://github.com/kassoulet/soundconverter/commit/ee70279a4daa70de2e693795c85d0276ccb0ec2d

Wow, you anticipated me, I was trying to fix in the same way. I'll soon upload the new debdiff

Here is the debdiff soundconverter_2.0.4-0ubuntu1.1 to soundconverter_2.0.4-0ubuntu1.2

@Timo
The debdiff with the fix you noticed has been uploaded, what do we have to do now?

Thank you for your patience

@Michele
Same thing as the last time. I just uploaded the debdiff and it's in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+queue?queue_state=1&queue_text= - I added this bug nr in the changelog so that this bug will again be updated once it's ready to be verified.

Indeed the error seems gone also in my testing by testing first 1.1 and then 1.2 with the same video file. Thanks a lot for fixing that too!

@Timo
Sorry, after I uploaded the debdiff I didn't see any activity and thought I had to do something more (like remove verification-done tag, or subscribe some team)

Thanks goes to Gautier for fixing this bug very quickly!
