Bug#1110207: unblock: kmailtransport/24.12.3-2
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: kmailtransport@packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:kmailtransport
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Dear Release Team,
please unblock package kmailtransport.
[ Reason ]
It contains the following change:
* Remove the Breaks for libkf5mailtransport-data to allow mbox-
importer to be upgraded (Closes: #1109519).
[ Impact ]
mbox-importer gets removed when running an apt full-upgrade from
bookworm to trixie.
[ Tests ]
- Install a minimal bookworm
- Install mbox-importer
- update sources.list to target trixie and run apt update
- run apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs
1. As is
- run apt full-upgrade
=> notice apt takes long seconds to find a solution and wants to
remove mbox-importer
2. With a patched Packages file
- patch out the likmailtransport-data Breaks libkf5mailtransport-data
relation in
deb.debian.org_debian_dists_trixie_main_binary-amd64_Packages
- run apt full-upgrade
=> notice apt finds a solution immediately and proposes an upgrade
path that doesn’t remove mbox-importer.
[ Risks ]
No risk identified.
We keep the likmailtransport-data Replaces libkf5mailtransport-data
relation since both packages have files in common, and only remove the
Breaks relation that confuses apt in this case.
mbox-importer is a leaf package only useful in combination with kmail.
If it gets removed because the solution still doesn’t work, users can
easily reinstall it after upgrade.
