blt::RemoveBindTag not found

This attachment is a backport of the relevant change in tkblt 3.2.8-1 that fixes the bug. The fix has been tested, discussed upstream, and is uploaded to Debian unstable. Since the bug causes a major decrease of saods9 functionality, I ask to apply it to the stable Ubuntu 18.04 release.

(I am the maintainer of tkblt in Debian)

Thanks!

Hello Ole, or anyone else affected,

Accepted tkblt into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tkblt/3.2.7-1ubuntu1 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 and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. 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!

I tested the package tkblt-3.2.7-1ubuntu1 as updated from bionic-proposes. All tests were successfull:

* loading tkblt within wish as stated in the original bug description

* testing saods9 as described above, and additionally did some random usage of saods9 using the graphics widgets that require tkblt

Therefore, I am setting the tag to verification-done-bionic.

Thanks for uploading

Ole

Thank you for the verification! Sadly, there seems to be an autopkgtest regression reported for this upload in saods9 (for i386). I tried re-running it and it looks like the failure is persistent when ran against tkblt 3.2.7-1ubuntu1. To make sure it's not saods9 that's broken in bionic release, I ran the tests against what's in the archive but then the autopkgtests passed. Might be just bad luck, but so far it seems that the new tkblt is causing a regression in saods9 on i386 - it needs someone to at least investigate it.

Could you or someone else take a look and try to assess why the ADT test-suite suddenly fails against the new tkblt? Might be unrelated, but we'd need some proof of that.

http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/s/saods9/bionic/i386

The failure is a bit mystic to me. It definitely has nothing to do with the tkblt problem: tkblt is a widget set, while the failure comes from a networking test (XPA is a network protocol somehow specific to saods9).

I have never seen this problem on Debian (only 64 bit, however); but it happened occasionally on Ubuntu -- unrelated to tkblt update, f.e.:

* xorg-server/2:1.19.6-1ubuntu3, 2018-03-14 19:53:47 UTC
* starlink-ast/8.6.2+dfsg-2 2018-01-25 00:34:41 UTC

etc. The problem also exists since a while on armhf; http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/s/saods9/bionic/armhf

It just depends on the speed of the test platform: the testscript (debian/tests/saods9-xpa) starts ds9, waits one second to come up and then tries to communicate with it. If the one second is not enough, the communication will fail (and the test as well).

This is ofcourse a bug in the test script (will attempt to fix than in the next release of saods9); however I don't know how to proceed here. I am however sure that this is not related to the patch proposed here.

Ok, thank you for your investigation! Might be that we're either simply very unlucky or things got a bit slower. I guess let's release it as is.

This bug was fixed in the package tkblt - 3.2.7-1ubuntu1
