Bug#775114: [libkdeui5] KRecursiveFilterProxyModel: The model was not working properly



control: severity -1 grave
thanks

This patch should be included as it fixes a critical bug in kdelibs which 
renders Kontact unable to show user data. The data is actually 
there, but not visible or accessible to the user, and therefore is often 
perceived as a data loss issue.

The patch itself is small (-11/+5 lines), contained entirely in private code 
in the affected library, and comes with a unit test to ensure quality.

There is a pending upstream review request to include it upstream which has 
gone unanswered thus far:

        https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/120119/

We are unsure when it will land upstream due to this lack of attention to the 
request, but the bug it fixes continues to affect users.

So despite waiting for upstream response, it is already being packaged in 
Fedora packages as well as being shipped to large institutional users (at 
least one of which uses a Debian OS as the desktop client) by downstream 
companies such as Kolab Systems.

By including this well-tested and already deployed patch, Debian can ensure 
that users relying on Kontact working well (among other KDE applications which 
use this same functionality) will not need to go elsewhere (e.g. another 
downstream) for a patched version of the kdelibs package.

Regads,
