Followup-For: Bug #669278
Control: reassign -1 src:phonon 4.6.0.0-2
Hi,
since fixing this via qtdbus did not work, I'm giving this bug back
to phonon. Unless someone has a better idea, adding back
phonon-backend-xine as a transitional package is a solution to fix
upgrades from squeeze to wheezy with the buggy apt from squeeze.
I updated my patch to re-add phonon-backend-xine as a transitional
package and verified that the upgrade path from squeeze is clean with
the new phonon-backend-xine being available.
I offer to NMU phonon (with the attached patch) if someone wnats to
sponsor this NMU.
