Hi Sandro,
Lisandro said you may be able to help with this. Do you know if libical support
could be disabled in kdepimlibs, or if the newer version libical3 could be used?
>From [1] it seems that libical is kind of optional, though I don't know if we
can disable the bits to drop that or if those bits have rdeps. Since kdepimlibs
is the last rdep of the old libical version, fixing this would allow us to drop
that one from buster. Otherwise the RC bugs that it has will need to be fixed
and we'll have to ship with two versions of the library.
Thanks,
Emilio
