[Bug 1957756] Re: ntfs-3g should switch to fuse3 (build-)dependencies

[Paride Legovini]

ntfs-3g 1:2017.3.23AR.3-3ubuntu6 just got uploaded with the bin:fuse
dependencies updated to bin:fuse3, but this bug is still valid because
of the build-depends on fuse2 we want to update.

I just test rebuilt 1:2017.3.23AR.3-3ubuntu5 against libfuse3-dev and it
worked fine. TBH I don't even know if that's actually used at all, as
the package is built with --with-fuse=internal, and I think that means
the library under libfuse-lite/ (in the package itself) is used.

Title:
  ntfs-3g should switch to fuse3 (build-)dependencies

Status in ntfs-3g package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  As outlined in the fuse3 MIR bug LP: #1934510 the current plan is to
  demote fuse2 to universe before the end of the 22.04 cycle. The
  ntfs-3g currently has dependencies on fuse2:

  Build-Depends: libfuse-dev (>= 2.9.3-16)

  Package: ntfs-3g
  Pre-Depends:
   fuse [linux-any],
   fuse4bsd [kfreebsd-any],

  Package: ntfs-3g-udeb
   fuse-udeb,

  We should try rebuilding the package against fuse3 and see how it
  behaves. Upstream is active, but I don't see fuse3 being mentioned in
  the commit history or issue tracker.

  I don't immediately see the reason for the Pre-Depends, I think we
  should check if that's actually needed or if it can be dropped. The
  dependency on bin:fuse is an issue as fuse3 Breaks: fuse, and we'll
  have other packages depending on bin:fuse3.
