Took patched libxcb library (1.8.1-2ubuntu2.1mozilla2) from bug 1334641 and added to releng-puppet2 along with the actual libxcb (1.8.1-2ubuntu2.1mozilla1) in /data/repos/apt/releng/pool/main/libx.
Also tested on a tst-linux64-ec2 machine this patch which was suppose to update the version of libxcb but I keep getting this error:

"Version '1.8.1-2ubuntu2.1mozilla2' for 'libxcb1' was not found".
Rail I see you worked with this package in Bug 975216 and maybe you have more experience.Can you tell me if there is something that I missed here?

Uploading a file is not enough unfortunately. You need to rebuild indexes after that.

IIRC apt indexes don't support more than 1 version of a package in a single repo, so we usually create a repo per new package - it's much safer this way.

https://wiki.mozilla.org/ReleaseEngineering/PuppetAgain/Packages#Ubuntu:_Adding_New_Packages talks about how to add a new repo and https://hg.mozilla.org/build/puppet/rev/7d907471288a is how we usually handle those in puppet.

I hope this helps.
