Akonadi 4:18.08.3-6 automatically resolves mutiple merge candidates errors
Hi!
Sandro kindly backported an important fix about the mutiple merge
candidates issue from Akonadi 19.08 to 18.08¹ ². It does not fix the
actual issue from happening, but it allows Akonadi to resolve the issue
without user interaction³.
The fix is currently available in Debian Sid.
So if you have this issue from time to time and can use Debian Sid,
please make sure you update.
A fix for Debian Buster definitely seems possible now that Sandro
backported the fix, however I do not know Sandro's plans there. It may
very well be that the Akonadi packages from Debian Sid could just be
installed in Buster, but I did not try this. In case it would break you
would get to keep the pieces as usual :). On any account only try this
if you are experienced enough with APT pinning and APT in general and
have a backup.
Thank you, Sandro!
