[Pkg-privacy-maintainers] Bug#1107276: unblock: pidgin-otr/4.0.2-6

[Daniel Rusek]

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

Please unblock package pidgin-otr

[ Reason ]
pidgin-otr is an OTR secure messaging plugin for the XMPP client Pidgin. Because of a typo in the AppStream metadata file (that was added before the Trixie freeze), it is not available for installation using GUI in Trixie. This is a problem since users are not able to find and install the pidgin-otr Add-on on the Pidgin package details page in pre-installed GUI package managers such as GNOME Software or KDE Discover.

The package version from unstable proposed for the unblock request fixes the typo and makes pidgin-otr installable using GUI.

[ Impact ]
Regular users (and even some more experienced ones who prefer GUI) won't be able to find and install this package using GUI.

[ Tests ]
https://appstream.debian.org/sid/main/metainfo/pidgin-otr.html
https://appstream.debian.org/sid/main/issues/pidgin-otr.html
(Replace "sid" in URL with "trixie".)

[ Risks ]
Low risk or basically none. The patch is very small and simple. Only one xml tag in one file (/usr/share/metainfo/ca.cypherpunks.otr.pidgin_otr.metainfo.xml) is changed.

[ 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
