Bug#1029656: Unexpected transition: libkscreen

[Aurélien COUDERC]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition
X-Debbugs-Cc: libkscreen at packages.debian.org, pkg-kde-talk at alioth-lists.debian.net
Control: affects -1 + src:libkscreen

Dear Release Team,

it has been raised to my attention that the libkscreen soname bump I
recently asked to accept has caused issues with packages outside the
Plasma package set… :-(
This was obviously not intentional and our team members with whom I
discussed the topic before uploading weren’t aware either.
And the timing to discover this is particularly bad.

Of course I should have checked more thoroughly myself, but here we are.


So moving forward, the following packages are affected :
- kylin-display-switch (kylin team) => rebuilds OK
- lxqt-config (lxqt team)           => FTBFS due to new libkscreen (#1029611)
- ukui-control-center (kylin team)  => FTBFS due to new libkscreen (#1029612)
- ukui-settings-daemon (kylin team) => FTBFS due to new libkscreen (#1029613)

1. LXQt
We’ve worked with the LXQt people and could fix #1029611 with
workarounds in libkscreen 4:5.26.90-3.
They will also have a new upstream release right away that would let us
drop these workarounds.

2. Kylin
I’ve not heard back from the Kylin maintainers yet.
The same workarounds fixed an initial set of issues, but there are more
code changes required to adapt to the new libkscreen API in order to fix
#1029612 and #1029613.


So again please accept my apologies and thanks in advance for your help.
