As requested, I am filing this bug early but I still need to do local rebuilds and testing. GNOME 43 is switching its core apps and libraries to use libsoup3 instead of libsoup2.4. This isn't a simple switch since other libraries use libsoup. Apps won't run if they are linked against both libsoup2.4 and libsoup3. The transition ends up entangling several library transitions together. My initial guess for involved libraries are: evolution-data-server geoclue-2.0 geocode-glib gnome-online-accounts grilo gssdp libdmapsharing libgweather4 librest libtimezonemap snapd-glib tracker Some of these libraries bump the soname for the transition. Many don't. Therefore, I don't have a complete ben file for all affected packages. I think that I'll do like the phodav transition [1] and try to add some Breaks where an app links against more than one affected library. That's an effort to try to avoid apps being broken by an incomplete upgrade. The Budgie and Cinnamon desktops are also affected by this transition. Note that libsoup2.4 will still be in Debian for the Debian 12 release. [1] https://discourse.gnome.org/t/phodav-transition-notes/10483 Thank you, Jeremy Bicha
