[pkg-lxc-devel] Bug#1052007: bookworm-pu: package lxcfs/5.0.3-1+deb12u1

[Mathias Gibbens]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: bookworm
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu
X-Debbugs-Cc: pkg-lxc-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org, gibmat at debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:lxcfs

[ Reason ]
lxcfs 5.0.3-1 has a bug where /proc/cpuinfo is not properly reported
within a 32bit arm container when the 64bit host has more than ~13
CPUs. This was initially reported in #1036818 and impacts some
autopkgtests run on the ci.debian.net arm hosts.

I have uploaded lxcfs 5.0.4-1 to unstable with a fix cherry-picked from
the upstream main branch, and would like to include it in bookworm's
version of lxcfs so that the CI arm servers can operate properly.

[ Impact ]
autopkgtests run on the CI infrastructure have been erroneously failing
for some packages, requiring workarounds. Fixing this will allow
autopkgtests for armel/armhf runs to be useful once again.

[ Tests ]
I have tested the patch locally in a QEMU VM, both when initially
debugging the issue as well as installing the proposed update. The
changes have been reviewed and accepted by the upstream developers.

[ Risks ]
The risk of regression is limited -- the changes have been reviewed and
accepted by the upstream developers. The fix is small and targeted.

[ Checklist ]
  [*] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [*] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [*] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
  [*] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable

[ Changes ]
Backport upstream commit fc8f593bda9eb4692daa07512ef6ba60dc39aded,
which was merged upstream earlier today and will be included in the
next release of lxcfs. There's also a small change to adjust the
default branch used by gbp to reflect the new branch for bookworm
fixes.

[ Other info ]
The source debdiff is attached.
