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.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing


Thanks !
