Package: kde-full
Version: 5:92
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Hi,
This bug only appears when upgrading a jessie system to stretch, but is a
release blocker at least w/ amd64 arch with foreign i386 arch enabled.
As per documentation, dist upgrade from jessie to stretch should work as
follows :
1/ update sources.list
2/ apt update
3/ apt upgrade
4/ apt dist-upgrade
The issue actually lies at the apt upgrade step, as it is reported that package
kdepimlibs-data breaks several other packages, so the upgrade cannot be
performed.
So then you have either to attempt to fix manually the issue, or with a dist-
upgrade, but in both situations the result is the same : the situation becomes
completely messy, with many broken packages you have to fix manually with dpkg
commands. It is not impossible to run the upgrade this way, but anyway it is
painful.
Steps to reproduce :
DO : install jessie with kde-full metapackage
DO : upgrade to stretch
EXPECT : upgrade runs fine
ACTUAL : upgrade is broken
Note : if you cannot reproduce the issue this way, try to upgrade libreoffice
from bpo (this might be the cause, but I have serious doubt about this).
