Package: meld
Version: 3.22.1-1
Severity: serious
Justification: blocker for 64-bit time_t transition
User: debian-arm at lists.debian.org
Usertags: time-t
Control: block 1036884 by -1
meld is an Architecture: all package, but has a direct dependency on
libgtk-3-0, as well as an indirect dependency on libgtk-3-0t64 via
gir1.2-gtksource-4 and gir1.2-gtk-3.0.
On the architectures affected by the 64-bit time_t transition (notably
armel and armhf), this is an impossible dependency, because libgtk-3-0 and
libgtk-3-0t64 conflict.
Please remove the explicit dependency on libgtk-3-0, and replace it
with gir1.2-gtk-3.0 if appropriate. For Python code that uses GTK via
GObject-Introspection, it is sufficient to depend on gir1.2-gtk-3.0.
More information about this transition is available on
<https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/64bit-time>.
Thanks,
smcv
