• Qt 6.7.2 uploaded to unstable!

    From Martin Steigerwald@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 5 10:20:01 2024
    Hi!

    Take care and as usual wait till apt is happy to upgrade *without*
    removing your desktop!

    Many thanks to Patrick and all the other developers who have been involved
    to make that happen!

    The upload of Qt 6.7.2 will unblock quite some other stuff that Qt/KDE team members have been preparing in experimental.

    Best,

    Just wait until full-upgrade installs it normally.

    root@canne:~# apt install qt6-base-private-abi -t experimental

    It was uploaded to unstable, not to experimental.

    Hi Luc, hi.

    Luc Castermans - 06.10.24, 08:40:38 CEST:
    How do I best install it, when I try to install various packages I get messages like below:

    You don't. You wait until all necessary Qt 6.7.2 packages are completely
    built on your architecture. And until all packages affected by the
    transition are rebuilt:

    https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/qt6base-abi-6.7.2.html

    Unless you are willing to do without a few of those packages temporarily.
    I did so with Digikam which I do not use regularly in the past. I just let
    apt uninstall it and installed it later again. But as long as it would uninstall your complete desktop, I can only recommend: Wait.

    On my system at the moment it would still uninstall my desktop although
    for amd64 most packages are shown as green. So it is wait. Maybe they are
    still to be mirrored to my package mirror. Let's see. Maybe I just do not understand all of above linked page. Due to a lot of packages depending on private Qt ABI the transition affects a lot of packages.

    That is why I put out my original message as a warning to begin with
    although I myself did not understand the nature of the transition
    initially. The transition is about that private ABI, from above page:

    Affected: .depends ~ /qt6-.*-private-abi \(= 6\.6\.2\)/ | .depends ~ / qt6-.*-private-abi \(= 6\.7\.2\)/
    Good: .depends ~ /qt6-.*-private-abi \(= 6\.7\.2\)/
    Bad: .depends ~ /qt6-.*-private-abi \(= 6\.6\.2\)/

    That is upstream decision to depend on that. So nothing packagers can do
    about it.

    In short: Do not attempt to force installation of some packages affected by
    a transition in the middle of the transition. You are just asking for
    trouble, a lot of trouble, this way.

    root@canne:~# apt install qt6-base-private-abi -t experimental

    Qt 6.7.2 was uploaded to unstable as the subject line I have chosen says.

    Best,
