[ Reason ]
When testing upgrading bookworm to trixie, we noticed that some applications
from the KDEPIM suite such as akregator, kaddressbook, kmail and korganizer were
removed from the system instead of being upgraded to their trixie-versions.
I cannot fully explain the reason as said packages can be installed without
issues immediately after the upgrade. But I assume that apt may some
difficulty resolving all dependencies. These applications are part of the
huge KDE 5 -> KDE 6 upgrade with virtually all packages having very
different dependencies.
However, it seems that apt can be nudged into the correct upgrade-path by
adding a Breaks+Replaces against old packages that are not part of trixie
any more.
[ Impact ]
Without this change, there is a realistic chance that a number of applications
from the KDEPIM suite are not upgraded as part of the bookworm -> trixie
upgrade and would have to be manually installed afterwards.
That might cause confusion for many users.
[ Tests ]
I conducted a manual test with the packages available for a bookworm ->
trixie upgrade and the affected applications from KDEPIM were upgraded
instead of removed.
[ Risks ]
The risks are virtually none. I only added a Breaks+Replaces for an old
package that is not part of trixie any more. But it seems that it helps
apt resolving all dependencies for those applications.
[ 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
[ Other info ]
I will request an unblock for src:libkleo as well with the same argumentation.
