[SRU] bitcoin: Mandatory upgrade on May 15

Attached debdiff.

As an alternative to the mandatory upgrade, I added to our wrapper script to tell BDB to use a bigger DB. Taken from upstream:
http://bitcoin.org/may15.html

Can you test the newer version? We're possibly better off to go with it for raring and do the work-around via SRU.

No problem, there is no rush to do this before raring.

For those interested, I have a test version for raring here:
https://launchpad.net/~showard314/+archive/ppa

Since Debian has bitcoin 0.8.1-1 I'd rather just sync it.
For earlier releases we will want an SRU & hopefully same as Debian will do.

Does the proposed patch works for all currently supported versions of bitcoin in Ubuntu?
   bitcoin | 0.3.24~dfsg-1 | oneiric/universe | source
   bitcoin | 0.3.24~dfsg-1 | precise/universe | source
   bitcoin | 0.6.2.2-1ubuntu1 | quantal/universe | source

You can skip oneiric. It is EOL on May 9.

This bug was fixed in the package bitcoin - 0.8.1-1

Yes, the proposed patches should work with previous releases. Debian
has never released a package of bitcoin (kfreebsd FTBFS eventually led
it to be removed from wheezy before freeze). There is a package in
squeeze backports which I'll request to be removed.

Hello Scott, or anyone else affected,

Accepted bitcoin into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bitcoin/0.3.24~dfsg-1ubuntu0.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

The fix for this bug has been awaiting testing feedback in the -proposed repository for precise for more than 90 days. Please test this fix and update the bug appropriately with the results. In the event that the fix for this bug is still not verified 15 days from now, the package will be removed from the -proposed repository.

This SRU has remained unverified after 175 days in the -proposed queue. I've removed it now from quantal-proposed and am marking the task 'wontfix'.

The package has already been removed from precise-proposed for the same reason.

Bitcoin is being removed from the Precise archive: see bug 1314616.
Therefore this bug will 'fix' this task in that one will need to use the supported PPA instead of the Ubuntu archive version.
Marking this fix committed and verification done, as the current package in proposed accomplishes this task.

The verified version:
