Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
X-Debbugs-Cc: inventor at packages.debian.org, Steve M. Robbins <smr at debian.org>
Control: affects -1 + src:inventor

[I'm not the uploader of the update, but filing to meet the deadline]

Please unblock package inventor

[ Reason ]
QA work by Andreas Beckmann uncovered that libinventor1 created broken
symlinks to font files that have been renamed.

[ Impact ]
Some broken font symlinks will be created and the application might fail to
find some fonts.

[ Tests ]
No package provided tests found this bug. I've manually tested that the
symlinks that are created are no longer pointing to non existing files.

[ Risks ]

Steven Robbins described the problem the following way:
> I couldn't say "harmless", but "mostly harmless", I'd think.  

And uploaded a fix to unstable.

The risks should be minimal given that the change in the package are
minimal.


[ Checklist ]
  [X] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [X] attach debdiff against the package in testing

[ Other info ]
I've reviewed the complete diffoscope
--exclude-directory-metadata=recursive output and there are only the
expected changes and changes that would be expected for a rebuild of a
package that is not fully reproducable (gnu debuglink and build id).

[ Full debdiff ]
$ debdiff *.deb
File lists identical (after any substitutions)

Control files: lines which differ (wdiff format)
