Bug#795923: klipper: Missing transitional package for KDE5 transition
Package: klipper
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
I recently upgraded from jessie to testing and had to do a little manual
intervention.
The KDE4 `klipper` package's contents are now included in the
`plasma-workspace` package.
In order to ensure a correct upgrade experience, an empty binary `klipper`
package should exist containing just `Depends: plasma-workspace` and
the `plasma-workspace` package should add all three of:
`Conflicts: klipper` (to ensure both can't be installed at the same time),
`Replaces: klipper` (to ensure the upgraded package can be installed),
and `Provides: klipper` (to ensure that any packages with `Depends: klipper`
still work).
These transitional measures can be removed in `buster` since it is only
supported to upgrade one release at a time.
I also noticed `kde-workspace{,-bin,-data}` only exists in KDE4 but did
not figure out where exactly its contents moved. Likely there are more
packages: I don't have a full KDE install, and sometimes the package
manager is smart enough to find a way to install the new package even
if the control fields are wrong.
