  • Warning to Plasma 6 / experimental users

    From =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Aur=E9lien?= COUDERC@21:1/5 to All on Mon Aug 19 01:30:01 2024
    TDLR :
    *DON’T* upgrade to :
    - libkf5globalaccel* version 5.115.0-6
    - libkf5plasma* and plasma-framework version 5.115.0-5
    it will break.

    *WAIT FOR* :
    - libkf5globalaccel* version 5.115.0-7~exp1
    - libkf5plasma* and plasma-framework version 5.115.0-6~exp1


    Longer explanation:

    I uploaded a set of changes to some kf5 packages today to ensure coinstallability with their qt6 counterparts. That was needed because we start having packages relying on kf6 like Digikam and we want them to be installable without requiring experimental.

    The issue that I overlooked is that there were actually 2 sets of kf5 packages that need updates for coinstallability :
    - ones that stayed in kf6 for their Qt6 version => these were OK to upload
    - ones that moved to *Plasma* for the Qt6 version, which is the case for kglobalaccel and plasma-framework (now called libplasma) => these were *NOT OK* to upload now because Plasma 6 is not in unstable yet.

    So I have reverted the changes to kglobalaccel in version 5.115.0-6 and plasma-framework 5.115.0-5 in unstable to keep all packages installable in unstable.
    The unpleasant side effect is that if you install these versions in parallel to their Plasma 6 counterparts, it will break.

    So please ensure you upgrade directly to libkf5globalaccel* version 5.115.0-7exp1 and libkf5plasma* and plasma-framework version 5.115.0-6~exp1 if you don’t want dpkg to break on file conflicts.

    That’s why they call it experimental after all…


    Happy hacking,

    Upgraded today just fine. Before installed above from experimental as you instructed.

    Thanks again.
