Assigning this globally as 'xapian' has no current maintainer.

Suggested advisory:
========================

The updated packages fix a security vulnerability:

Xapian database corruption on disk full is possible.  It doesn't happen in every case as ENOSPC needs to happen on a particular operation during the commit but then not happen on a repeat attempt at that operation. (bdo#1032398)

Comment 3 Herman Viaene 2023-03-27 16:20:24 CEST

MGA8-64 MATE On Acer Aspire 5253
No installation issues.
From MCC "Xapian is an Open Source Search Engine Library, released under the GPL. It's written in C++, with bindings to allow use from Perl, Python, PHP, Java, Tcl, C#, and Ruby (so far!)"
Found 
# urpmq --whatrequires xapian
python3-xapian-bindings
recoll
xapian
xapian-bindings-java
xapian-bindings-lua
xapian-bindings-mono
xapian-bindings-ruby
xapian-bindings-tcl

Installed recoll and run it under strace and found reference to xapian, while the recoll did its indexing and querying OK.
Good enough for me.
