Hello,

I have uploaded ebook-speaker_6.2.0-4+deb12u1 for inclusion in
bookworm.

[ Reason ]
As reported on
https://github.com/book-readers/ebook-speaker/issues/4
Some users see ebook-speaker just completely fail... just because their
login is longer than 8 characters. oldstable already had the issue.

[ Impact ]
Users with a login longer than 8 characters cannot use ebook-speaker.

[ Tests ]
This was tested manually.

[ Risks ]
The code is rather simple.

[ 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 (old)stable
  [X] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable

[ Changes ]
The patch gets rid of the use of the cuserid() function which brings the
length limitation. Instead we just compare gids as int rather than
interating over the logins of the group, which won't pose such kind of
issues.

Thanks,
Samuel

+    Fix testing belonging to the audio group
+    
+    cuserid() is limited to L_cuserid characters, which is 9.  This means that
+    users with a longer login were never seen as belonging to the group.
+    
+    Let us just replace with using getgroups, which allows
+    - to actually check the current allowed groups,
+    - to compare gids, which don't pose length limitations.
+    
+    Fixes #4
