[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#1068408:

[David Pye]

Seconded - the current package situation makes Kicad in Trixie unusable at
the moment.

dmp at thor:~$ dpkg -l | grep kicad
ii  kicad                                          7.0.11+dfsg-1
          amd64        Electronic schematic and PCB design software
ii  kicad-demos                                    7.0.11+dfsg-1
          all          Demo projects for kicad
ii  kicad-footprints                               8.0.1-1
          all          Footprint symbols for KiCad's Pcbnew
ii  kicad-libraries                                7.0.11+dfsg-1
          all          Virtual package providing common used libraries by
kicad
ii  kicad-packages3d                               8.0.1-1
          all          3D models for 3D viewer in KiCad's Pcbnew and
Footprint Editor
ii  kicad-symbols                                  8.0.1-1
          all          Schematic symbols for KiCad's Eeschema
ii  kicad-templates                                8.0.1-1
          all          Project templates for KiCad

The footprints/templates/symbols that are part of 8.0.1-1 are not
compatible with the main kicad 7.0.11+dfsg-1.

This means the system is unusable until the main kicad package in sid
arrives in trixie.

The other option would be to update the kicad package to specify the
depends for the kicad package on its' libraries/symbols etc  as  >=7  <8 to
avoid the current situation.

Hopefully kicad 8 will be arriving from sid shortly.....!
