What must the Ubuntu 26.04 packaging deliver so that Vocalinux installs and initializes without compatibility crashes — specifically a .deb with all the right dependencies, plus a full packaging refresh (.deb, AppImage, installer) with clean dependency manifests?
Context
Ubuntu 26.04 LTS is released (April 2026). The concern is an init/compat crash on that distro — pre-empt it via correct packaging rather than re-diagnosing an unseen bug.
The .deb must carry all runtime deps (GTK3/PyGObject, whisper.cpp libs, CUDA/Vulkan libs if bundled, Wayland tools) so there's no missing-library init failure.
Full packaging refresh: .deb, AppImage, and installer all rebuilt with clean dep manifests for 26.04.
Resolution target
A decision on the packaging architecture: dep manifest content, which libs to bundle vs depend on, and the build/release flow for 26.04. Task ticket — manual packaging work (HITL) that unblocks the dep-manifest decision.
