[Bug 1850932] [NEW] [SRU] Backport 2.62.2-2

[Iain Lane]

Public bug reported:

[ Description ]

I'm creating this bug report to have a place to describe the proposed
backport of glib2.0 2.62.2-2 from focal.

The main purpose of this backport (as opposed to -1) is to fix bug
#1844853.

But there are several other changes. There are many cherry-picks to
improve the testsuite's reliability. At the time of upload they weren't
in the stable branch, but now they almost all are. These commits can be
considered to be tested under
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME

The two that are not are:

commit 2b1e706b2f0007982f4fe6a70734d4490e4093a3

    gdbus-server-auth test: Create temporary directory for Unix socket
    
    This avoids failure to listen on the given address on non-Linux Unix
    kernels, where abstract sockets do not exist and so unix:tmpdir is
    equivalent to unix:dir.
    
    To avoid bugs like this one recurring, run most of these tests using
    the unix:dir address type, where Linux is equivalent to other Unix
    kernels; just do one unix:tmpdir test, to check that we still
    interoperate with libdbus when using abstract sockets on Linux.
    
    Resolves: GNOME/glib#1920
    Fixes: 9f962ebe "Add a test for GDBusServer authentication"

commit 9f962ebeac1d67223579ad0d261c4c8215f7c427
Author: Simon McVittie <smcv at collabora.com>
Date:   Fri Oct 11 19:02:55 2019 +0100

    Add a test for GDBusServer authentication
    
    In particular, if libbdus is available, we test interoperability with
    a libdbus client: see GNOME/glib#1831. Because that issue describes a
    race condition, we do each test repeatedly to try to hit the failing
    case.

which are both testsuite fixes. There are some additional non-upstream
changes:

   * d/p/debian/mimeapps-test-Mark-as-flaky.patch:
     Drop patch, hopefully no longer needed with #941550 fixed
   * d/p/debian/taptestrunner-Stop-looking-like-an-executable-script.patch:
     Make taptestrunner non-executable to avoid a Lintian warning

the former is again a testsuite fix. The latter is a fix to the test
runner, which is relevant for the installed tests (run via autopkgtest)
but not otherwise.

[ QA ]

The testsuite fixes will verify themselves during the build and
autopkgtest.

[ Regression potential ]

all test fixes> Build failures or autopkgtest failures.
