Package: emboss-lib
Version: 6.6.0+dfsg-12
Severity: serious
User: debian-arm@lists.debian.org
Usertags: time-t

Dear maintainers,

Analysis of the archive for the 64-bit time_t transition[0][1] identifies emboss-lib as an affected package, on the basis that the headers could not
be compiled and analyzed out of the box using abi-compliance-checker[2], so
we have to assume it's affected.

However, emboss-lib's shlibs file declares a dependency on a library package name that contains no ABI information:

$ cat DEBIAN/shlibs
libacd 6 emboss-lib (>= 6.6.0+dfsg)
libajax 6 emboss-lib (>= 6.6.0+dfsg)
libajaxdb 6 emboss-lib (>= 6.6.0+dfsg)
libajaxg 6 emboss-lib (>= 6.6.0+dfsg)
libensembl 6 emboss-lib (>= 6.6.0+dfsg)
libepcre 7 emboss-lib (>= 6.6.0+dfsg)
libeplplot 3 emboss-lib (>= 6.6.0+dfsg)
libnucleus 6 emboss-lib (>= 6.6.0+dfsg)
$

It is therefore not obvious that we should rename the package to 'emboss-lib-64' as part of this transition.

Looking at the archive, there are packages built from separate source
packages which depend on these libraries: embassy-domainatrix, embassy-domalign, embassy-domsearch.

Since there is no self-evident thing to do with the library package name
here, we will not be handling this package as part of the mass NMUs.
Instead I am filing a serious bug because partial upgrades from bookworm to trixie on 32-bit architectures will result in ABI skew and may result in
broken behavior.

Thanks,
