Bug#1055855: We need to switch to a version that uses Qt WebEngine



Source: signon-ui
Version: 0.17+16.04.20151125-1
Severity: important
Control: tag -1 trixie

Continuing from Dmitry Shachnev (mitya57)'s message at the kaccounts-providers bug that is affected by this one:
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1054919#51

We need to switch to a signon-ui release that uses Qt WebEngine rather
than the dead Qt WebKit, and we need to do this before trixie.
Honestly, the sooner the better...

When I was searching for a living upstream for signon-ui, I found that
SUSE appears to use a version that has already switched to WebEngine:
  https://packagehub.suse.com/packages/signon-ui/0_17+20171022-bp155_3_16/

I didn't investigate more than that, but it looks like there is
already a resolution.  It might just be a question of switch to a more
alive upstream, and/or replicating a SUSE patch series (I didn't check).

Also, it might be a good idea import the changes as patches (whether
from upstream, new upstream, and/or SUSE) so that we can backport them
more easily to bookworm, because Google is not totally unreasonable to
experimented with blacklisting a web browser user agent string that
dates to 2016!

Regards,
Nicholas
