Bug Description

[ Impact ]
* Needed to SRU newer virtualbox versions

[Regression Potential]
* none, leaf package

[ Other info ]
Please, this is a bundled library in virtualbox, now packaged as system library.
Unfortunately this is missing in focal, but we need to backport virtualbox from time to time (due to kernel changes).

In order to avoid having a special bundled version in virtualbox again (the library is now stripped from sources), and to introduce bugs in packaging, I would really like to add this library (leaf) to focal

you've subscribed the release team to this but the release team does not handle new packages in stable releases, this is the SRU team + archive admins. Are you planning to SRU this?

Not invalid enough it seems. The liblzf package in focal New links to this bug, not the parent one. So be sure to verify both when doing SRU verification.

Hello Gianfranco, or anyone else affected,

Accepted liblzf into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/liblzf/3.6-2~ubuntu1.20.04.1 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 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.
