Timo thank you very much!

The 1.1.7 build has made its way into impish already:

   https://packages.ubuntu.com/impish/libnvidia-egl-wayland1

   Package: libnvidia-egl-wayland1 (1:1.1.7-1) [universe]
   amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el s390x

However, since libnvidia-gl:

   # currently available 465
   https://packages.ubuntu.com/impish/libnvidia-gl-465

   # experimental build of 470
   <https://launchpad.net/~albertomilone/+archive/ubuntu/nvidia-testing/+sourcepub/12507185/+listing-archive-extra 
 >

both provide "amd64 i386" but the libnvidia-egl-wayland1 impish
package lacks an i386 build, the i386 version of the libnvidia-gl
drivers will be crippled when it comes to wayland performance when
running 32-bit only graphics apps (i.e. games) on a 64-bit system.

Of course, anyone so affected can just grab the 1.1.7 egl-wayland
i386 .deb directly from:

   http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/egl-wayland/

But it would be nice to get the ubuntu libnvidia-egl-wayland1
universe package updated to include i386 so that's not necessary.

Any idea how to make that happen?

I have cc'd this message to the universe maintainers list just in case.

Thanks,

Kyle McKay

It just needed to be added to the whitelist of packages to build on i386 
as Alberto mentioned, and that has been done now. Will take a while to 
appear on the archive.

Thank you, I see that impish now has an i386 build of egl-wayland  
1.1.7 available.

As the final coup de grâce for this campaign, :)  I've filed a bug  
report asking for the egl-wayland package to be moved from universe to  
main:

   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/egl-wayland/+bug/1935082

Thanks for all your help with this Timo and Alberto!

Dear ClamTk (universe) maintainers,

It would be great if the ClamTk version 6.03-3 used in the future Ubuntu
21.10 release was pulled to the current 21.04 release, to fix the
following issue there:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clamtk/+bug/1927065 .

The issue was classified as "grave" on the related remote Debian bug.
The change compared to the current version 6.03-1 is minimal and
contains a patch for the issue.

Thanks!

John

Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for our policies
and procedures for getting a package in a stable Ubuntu release fixed.
Specifically, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure are
the steps a volunteer can follow to get a patch applied. If you need any
help, feel free to ask on this list.

Hope that helps!

Robie

The change looks reasonable for a Stable Release Update. Could you help
prepare the bug for an SRU by updating the bug description as indicated
here?
