Dear release team!
I recently tried to install cqrlog on Debian unstable. Unfortunately,
this failed since the dependencies and the recommends of the cqrlog
package have an unlucky ordering which means apt cannot manually
resolve the dependencies.
The origin of this issue is the fact that cqrlog can work with both
MySQL and MariaDB as its database backend. Unfortunately, the current
control file sets "mysql-client" as a dependency for "cqrlog" while
having "mariadb-server" and "mysql-server" in the Recommends field,
in this particular order. This means that apt will try to install
both mariadb-server and mysql-client at the same time which fails
since mariadb-server and mysql-client have transitive conflicts [1].
The attached debdiff fixes the issue by reordering the recommends
and additionally adding mariadb-client as an alternative dependency
to allow the use of cqrlog with MariaDB as an alternative backend
which is currently not possible at all [2].
Furthermore, this patch adds "xplanet" to Recommends where it is
currently missing as cqrlog contains a menu shortcut to run
xplanet with the package manager not making sure it's actually
installed [3].
Please consider unblocking cqrlog_1.8.2-1.1 which is currently
in DELAYED/5 [4].
