    Package: release.debian.org
    Severity: normal
    X-Debbugs-Cc: messagelib@packages.debian.org, deltaone@debian.org
    Control: affects -1 + src:messagelib
    User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org

    Please unblock package messagelib

    [ Reason ]
    When testing upgrading bookworm to trixie, we noticed that some applications from the KDEPIM suite such as akregator, kaddressbook, kmail and korganizer were
    removed from the system instead of being upgraded to their trixie-versions.
    I cannot fully explain the reason as said packages can be installed without issues immediately after the upgrade. But I assume that apt may some
    difficulty resolving all dependencies. These applications are part of the
    huge KDE 5 -> KDE 6 upgrade with virtually all packages having very
    different dependencies.
    However, it seems that apt can be nudged into the correct upgrade-path by adding a Breaks+Replaces against old packages that are not part of trixie
    any more.

    [ Impact ]
    Without this change, there is a realistic chance that a number of applications from the KDEPIM suite are not upgraded as part of the bookworm -> trixie upgrade and would have to be manually installed afterwards.
    That might cause confusion for many users.

    [ Tests ]
    I conducted a manual test with the packages available for a bookworm ->
    trixie upgrade and the affected applications from KDEPIM were upgraded
    instead of removed.

    [ Risks ]
    The risks are virtually none. I only added a Breaks+Replaces for an old
    package that is not part of trixie any more. But it seems that it helps
    apt resolving all dependencies for those applications.

    [ Checklist ]
    [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
    [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
    [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing

    [ Other info ]
    I will request an unblock for src:libkleo as well with the same argumentation.
