Bug Description

python-djvulibre fails to build from source (https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/python-djvulibre/+bug/935385). After investigation it was determined that we can simply pull upstream, remove all the existing patches (since they're already in upstream) and we'll be good.

Relevant info attached and also in the original bug (#935385).

The new release is hosted here:

The changelog looks reasonable.

It has only two reverse dependencies, ocrodjvu and djvusmooth. Could you give both a quick test with the new version? Judging by theh changelog there shouldn't be any API breakage, but better safe than sorry. Thanks!

Someone beat me to fixing this at Debian and they just fixed the existing version rather than rolling to a new one, so I think now it no longer requires an FFe. I'll close this bug if that is accurate.

It is.

Also worth noting that the changes made in Debian don't help Ubuntu.

Matt, it's not clear to me if you wanted to close this bug or not. Could you please unassign yourself or close the bug as appropriate.

Rick,

I unassigned myself as I wont have time in the next few days to work on this. The debian fix doesn't help Ubuntu, moving to 0.3.8 would, but I don't know if we want to re-work debian's patch instead. Going to 0.3.8 would be more simple and I assume we could upstream that after. If I get time, I'll get back to this unless someone else fixes it first.

Setting to Incomplete as this is pending some work. Once there's a fix available for the release team to look at, please reset the bug to New. Thanks!

ocrodjvu works fine. so does djvusmooth, I tried a few US tax forms that I converted from PDF.

As Stefano mentions the debian patch doesn't fix the Ubuntu break. Since the latest upstream not only fixes this but lets us remove all our patches, I think it's cleanest just to move to it. I'm attaching a debdiff between this and 0.3.3-1.

Matt:
Incorrectly versioned, it should be 0.3.8-0ubuntu1.
It also doesn't close this bug.
