Bug#1109416: unblock: nautilus/48.3-2

[Simon McVittie]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: nautilus at packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:nautilus
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please unblock nautilus ("Files"), GNOME's file manager.

As with other recent unblock requests I would like this to be considered 
for Debian 13.0 if possible, but if we're too late for that, it can be 
deferred to 13.1 by converting this request into a trixie-pu request.

[ Reason ]

New upstream bugfix release

[ Impact ]

Various upstream bug fixes and one packaging fix.

The upstream bug fixes include a couple of crashes, a memory leak, 
replacing a broken icon with one that is still available (similar to my 
recent unblock request for gnome-terminal), and interacting better with 
focus-stealing prevention so that a programmatically-opened window can 
correctly take focus if it was opened in response to user action.

The packaging also promotes gvfs-backends from Recommends to Depends, 
because nautilus is not really designed to be used without it, and 
in particular attempting to access network:/// would crash.

[ Tests ]

Manually tested, including some but not all of the changed areas:

- accessing my home directory on local disk
- Ctrl+L while in the recent:// view
- accessing a remote (gvfs) filesystem via smb://
- copying a large file from smb:// to exercise the progress dialog

It has been in unstable for 3 days with no regressions reported. A 5-day 
migration delay like the team has been applying to other GNOME package 
updates seems appropriate.

[ Risks ]

Key package in our default desktop environment.

All changes are targeted fixes for specific issues.

The change to focus-stealing-prevention-prevention is fairly noisy 
because it adds an extra parameter to a frequently-used function, but 
the way it has been done is obviously correct. I checked on codesearch 
that the function isn't referenced by out-of-tree plugins.

[ 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
      (filtered to exclude translations)
