Hello Ivan, or anyone else affected,

Accepted pollinate into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pollinate/4.23-0ubuntu1~16.04.1 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!

I tested pollinate 4.23-0ubuntu1~16.04.1 in xenial-proposed and it seems to be working fine now.

The Trusty package that was uploaded references the wrong bug number.

That's why this bug wasn't automatically updated. That also means it isn't properly tracked on http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html. That report is used by the SRU team to determine which packages to add to -updates.

This bug was fixed in the package pollinate - 4.23-0ubuntu1~16.04.1

As part of a recent change in the Stable Release Update verification policy we would like to inform that for a bug to be considered verified for a given release a verification-done-$RELEASE tag needs to be added to the bug where $RELEASE is the name of the series the package that was tested (e.g. verification-done-xenial). Please note that the global 'verification-done' tag can no longer be used for this purpose.

Thank you!

Below I launch a
 a.) trusty lxd container,
 b.) enable proposed
 c.) install pollinate from proposed
 d.) attempt to remove the package that provides /usr/bin/xxd

The output of 'd' shows that removal of vim-common would also
remove pollinate, showing that the dependency is correct.
