as previously noted, this is a non-issue since the package cannot really suggest something that does not exist as a package registered with apt.

I have tested and can confirm that the use of suffix purge works to drop local fork:
https://lists.puri.sm/pipermail/pureos-changes/2021-March/001152.html shows the packages I uploaded, and https://software.pureos.net/search_pkg?term=zpb shows (at the time of writing this) that landing now contains the package from Debian.

Looks good.

Sorry to reopen, but I think the Guidelines are currently in a confusingly odd state:

Thanks for a swift resolution.

Excellent!

unp does not suggest a non-free package, only a non-existent one.

What exactly was tested 1000 times? some apt tool using an up-to-date libapt, or something more low-level?

https://serverfault.com/a/950568 mentions intermittent OCSP failures tied to IPv6.

https://stackoverflow.com/a/60243923 mentions how to disable OCSP for apt:

touch /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99verify-peer.conf \
&& echo >>/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99verify-peer.conf "Acquire { https::Verify-Peer false }"

maybe relevant to your research:
curl -O https://repo.pureos.net/pureos/dists/amber/main/source/Sources.xz works fine,
but curl -O --cert-status https://repo.pureos.net/pureos/dists/amber/main/source/Sources.xz fails:

curl: (91) No OCSP response received

@jeremiah.foster: please don't discuss [multiple issues] issues directly, but instead file a separate issue report for the part you have input on and discuss it there.

This issue is not about what is acceptable for people hired by or representing Purism to do.

I am unaware of any issues with Firefox ESR violating the FSF Free System Distribution Guidelines.
We are aware of a some issues that might violate FSDG, and we are examining each of those individually.

I am unaware of any issues with Chromium violating the FSF Free System Distribution Guidelines.

Thanks again. You can do that now at T992.

thanks for your input, @francois - but please wait until this multi-issue has been broken into parts before contributing further, because a) it is too difficult to discuss multiple issues at once in this interface, and b) it is not possible to reassign comments to other more narrow-scoped issue reports once made.

I reported this issue on my own (not driven by reports of others but from my prior knowledge in maintaining PureBrowser and therefore pretty exactly knowing how they differ).

I also recommend to subscribe to https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/CensusTemplate (hint: that page was updated today)

@jeremiah.foster as an initial action, I recommend that you subscribe to the wiki page, to get notified when others edit it - in case you disagree or appreciate learning from it.

oh, silly me: pantalaimon was never derived, so this is a non-issue.

Higher-than-Debian version shadows a Debian package if both are available. That is suitable for packages deliberately deviating from its Debian counterpart.
Example: debian-games (we fix an FSF-specific freedom-issue)

The problem tracked in this issue is that you can install non-free packages or add non-free repos - including skype and others.
Which packages can most easily be installed due to the default configuration of the tool is a subset of this general issue.

seems I was mistaken: Matthias explained today that "whatever works, as long as the string "pureos" with a version number suffix appears in there".

Thanks!

https://software.pureos.net/package/bin/byzantium/libglib2.0-0 currently says "This package is currently not installable!"

Please note that this issue is about whether or not a package in PureOS is violating policies defined by Debian and/or FSF.

@jeremiah.foster I am not sure but I don't think Yamane-san is hanging out on irc

core part of OpenQA is already in Debian: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/os-autoinst

Upstream bugreport: https://bugs.debian.org/908947

There are many, many, MANY ways you can break your system, by changing how its configuration to behave differently from what it did when initially installed.

Yes, unrar-free recommends unar.

Thanks for reporting this issue.

@mak Please block pipx from entering PureOS.

The package telegram-desktop is Free software, and its ties to commercial rtworked services does not affect PureOS compliance as a GNU Free Software Distribution.

I see no reason for blocking MAME from PureOS.

If this issue still persist, then it is too complex to solve. Sorry for the annoyance.

Assuming this was a glitch in the matrix.

The cause of this issue is likely either that your PureBrowser profile is corrupted or that it contains data only readable by Firefox 68.x not 60.x which PureBrowser is no reverted to.

ah right - using the command-line option --ProfileManager provides for a more user-friendly interaction than directly renaming the profile dir. Thanks for mentioning that, @marcus, I'll keep than in mind for future guidance.

I don't know what happened concretely in your case. Perhaps the versions you read was simply _available_ versions instead of _installed_ ones?
