Bug#1099467: dh-elpa-helper: Byte compilation error when upgrading cert
From Sean Whitton@21:1/5 to All on Wed Mar 5 08:10:01 2025
Hello Xiyue,
Thanks.
What if we add a Breaks to Emacs in trixie saying it's incompatible with dh-elpa-helper <<2.1.7 ?
The following situation is what could break an upgrade:
- emacs upgraded to version from trixie
- dh-elpa-helper still on the version from bookworm
- an addon gets upgraded, and tries to bytecompile.
But a Breaks would mean dpkg would ensure the first two conditions are
never true.
Then we do indeed do a backport of dh-elpa to bookworm-backports so that
Emacs in backports remains installable.
