Bug#1120260: Please backport upstream fix for bug #510833 (missing Web/URL field in KAddressBook 6.3.3)



Package: kaddressbook
Version: 4:24.12.3-1 (KAddressBook 6.3.3)
Severity: important
Tags: patch fixed-upstream trixie


Dear Maintainers,

KAddressBook 6.3.3 (as packaged in Debian Trixie) no longer displays the “Web” 
/ “URL” field in the contact view.
This is a regression: the field used to be visible and clickable in all 
previous releases.

Upstream bug report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510833

Upstream fix commits:
- https://invent.kde.org/pim/kaddressbook/-/commit/
ceba74714c34c7361bb83e5b4b2bea2ebe6c5d8b
- https://invent.kde.org/pim/akonadi-contacts/-/commit/
87057957aaa6bcc538f113efa679e6469bb436fd

The fix only changes an HTML template file (`src/viewertemplates/
contact_embedded.html`) and is therefore safe to backport to the current 
6.3.x/24.12.x packaging.
It restores the correct display of contact website links (no ABI or build-
system changes required).

Upstream maintainer (Laurent Montel) confirmed the patch and indicated it will 
be part of 6.6.0.
However, 6.3.x is end-of-life upstream, so users of Debian Trixie currently 
cannot see or click Web/URL fields.

Could you please cherry-pick this patch into the Debian Trixie branch or 
upload a small -2 revision with the fix?
This would restore expected KAddressBook behaviour for current testing users.

Thank you very much!
