Comment 2 Nicolas Salguero 2022-05-09 13:12:02 CEST 
Suggested advisory:
========================

The updated packages fix a security vulnerability:

An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the pick-and-place rotation parsing functionality of Gerbv 2.7.0 and dev (commit b5f1eacd), and Gerbv forked 2.8.0. A specially-crafted pick-and-place file can exploit the missing initialization of a structure to leak memory contents. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability. (CVE-2021-40403)

Comment 3 Herman Viaene 2022-05-11 10:56:32 CEST 
MGA8-64 Plasma on Lenovo B50
No installation issues, not installing the devel, since that one would draw in a large number of other devel stuff.
Run gerbv, open an example as provided by the package: /usr/share/gerbv/example/amacro-ref/full-ex.grb and I could deisplay the properties of two of the objects in it.
Works OK as far ass I can see.
