lucid and maverick are incompatible with latest iOS

SRU Request:

Impact of the issue: Lucid and Maverick users that update the firmware of their iPod Touch and iPhone devices can no longer access them in Lucid and Maverick.

This issue was resolved by backporting a couple of minimal changes from the upstream tree. These fixes already ship in Natty. See attached debdiffs for Lucid and Maverick.

I tested this update on Lucid with gtkpod and rhythmbox on an iPod Touch still running 4.0.1, and an iPod Touch that had been upgraded to 4.3.3. The updated packages solved the issue for the new iOS version, while maintaining compatibility with the old one.

Accepted libimobiledevice into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

I have tested 0.9.7-1ubuntu1.1, and now my iPhone (with iOS 4.2.1) is detected. It wasn't before upgrading from 0.9.7-1ubuntu1.

This bug was fixed in the package libimobiledevice - 0.9.7-1ubuntu1.1

---------------
libimobiledevice (0.9.7-1ubuntu1.1) lucid-proposed; urgency=low

  * Add compatibility for iOS 4.2 and 4.3. This doesn't add new device
    support, it only maintains support for devices which were updated to
    the new firmware. (LP: #793616)
    - debian/patches/04-ios-42-compat.patch: Fix compatibility with iOS
      4.2 by passing a cert in the handshake.
    - debian/patches/05-ios-43-compat.patch: Fix compatibility with iOS
      4.3 by handling invalid null characters in the plist.

Adjusting verification tags to point out that maverick still needs testing.

I've just tested this on a clean maverick install. iPod touch with iOS 4.3.3 gave an error when plugged in without the update. After installing the package in proposed, it mounts correctly and music and photos are visible.

This bug was fixed in the package libimobiledevice - 1.0.1-1ubuntu0.1
