Please unblock package 7zip [ Reason ] 7zip-rar 25.00 has migrated to trixie. The 7zip-rar interface might not be compatible with 7zip in trixie. [ Impact ] 7zip-rar might fail to be called for specific rar file operations. [ Tests ] I have tried to provoke a crash by extracting a rar file but have not succeeded. [ Risks ] None. The risks are in not migrating. [ 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 unblock 7zip/25.00+dfsg-1
control: tags -1 moreinfo Hi, You seem to assume that 7zip-rar needs to be the same version as 7zip. If that's the case, 7zip-rar would need to have a strict(er) versioned dependency on 7zip. Such a dependency would also have prevented the migration of 7zip-rar without 7zip. The changes between 7zip 24.09+dfsg-8 and 25.00+dfsg-1 are not small, so clearly 'None' is not correct here. Cheers, Ivo
I withdraw this request. The .so interface is the same and upstream seems to keep it stable enough for such a use case.
