Evolution 3.38.3-1 |
Hi, and thanks for the report, and I'm sorry I failed to fix this
before bullseye. I believe the proper fix is to build with --with-po-
suffix so that the po files are called gss3.po in libgss-dev, instead
of gss.po which caused the conflict you noticed. The --with-po-suffix
parameter was mistakenly dropped in 1.0.3-5 which also explains why
this happened now rather many years ago.
I'm fixing this for unstable/testing with a new upload. I'm thinking
whether we also want to fix this in bullseye? Maybe a propsed-update
upload? I have never done an upload like that, so I don't know what
the requirements and restrictions are for fixes to a stable release.
It does seem to make sense though, since it helps to fix multi-release
upgrade paths.
My upload now doesn't resolve why libgss0 is installed after a long-
time upgrade cycle like yours. I'm not sure that is incorrect: having
libgss0 installed (even when libgss3 is installed) is fine and
shouldn't cause problems. Are packages required to make sure old
obsolete packages are removed? If so, is a Replaces: libgss0 on
libgss3 sufficient? What do you think?
