Bug#1110027: unblock: polari/46.0-5

[Simon McVittie]

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

Please consider unblocking package polari.

[ Reason ]
Backport an upstream patch fixing ability to join a channel: #1095989 
(https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/polari/-/issues/232 upstream)

[ Impact ]
If not fixed, the UI becomes unresponsive when joining a channel.

[ Tests ]
I haven't tested this (I don't use this IRC client myself) but 
presumably the uploader, Jérémy Lal, did. (Jérémy, please could you 
follow up here with details of tests you did?)

[ Risks ]
Not a key package, but it used to be pulled in by GNOME metapackages 
(before 2020) and might still be present on older installations.

The impact/visibility of the issue fixed here suggests that few developers 
are using this package regularly. But the fix is simple and 
narrowly-targeted (a 1-line change backported from upstream, explicitly 
closing a dialog instead of trying to trigger its destructor 
prematurely) so it seems low-risk; it's hard to see how it could cause a 
regression worse than the issue it's fixing.

[ 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
