Package: progress-linux-gnome-desktop
Version: 20211008-1
Severity: serious
Justification: cannot migrate to testing with these dependencies in place
Control: block 993577 by -1
Similar to bfh-gnome-desktop, progress-linux-gnome-desktop Depends on
gnome-shell-extension-remove-dropdown-arrows, which is no longer relevant
for GNOME Shell >= 40 (which doesn't have arrows on drop-down menus
anyway) and as a result is being removed from unstable. Please drop
the dependency, or maybe change it to something like
Depends: gnome-shell (>= 40) | gnome-shell-extension-remove-dropdown-arrows
if compatibility with older Debian is desired.
It also Depends on gnome-shell-extension-hide-activities and
gnome-shell-extension-multi-monitors, which have not been updated for
GNOME 41 (#996061, #996066). Please drop those dependencies, or relax them
to Recommends or Suggests, or help to update those extensions if they are
important to you.
In general it is probably better to use Recommends rather than Depends
for any non-critical GNOME Shell extension. GNOME Shell does not have a
stable extension API, so all extensions potentially need updating every
6 months for compatibility with the new GNOME Shell version, and will
be removed from testing if they are not updated.
Thanks,
