Package: ksnapshot Version: 4:15.08.0-1 Severity: normal

Control: affects -1 kde-spectacle

ksnapshot is currently uninstallable in Stretch (at least together with libkipi-using packages like current digikam) because it depends on an old version of libkipi

That's not what I'm seeing here, if I'm not mistaken, it's not uninstallable as long as if you don't have the newer libkf5kipi-data installed.

Basically, you need to choose between libkf5kipi-data or libkipi-data. libkf5kipi-data is indirectly depended by digikam, so you can't install digikam and ksnapshot together.

Anyway, this is all a bit of nitpicking, I think that at this point we want to get rid of ksnapshot. So, I guess that a transitional package it the way to go.

A simple binNMU would probably fix this, but ksnapshot has been replaced by kde-spectacle anyway. So I think the best way forward would for kde-spectacle to Break/Replace ksnapshot and then drop ksnapshot from testing.

I not seeing how this could be fixed with a binNMU. Afaics, we could either disable the kipi support in ksnapshot, drop ksnapshot adding the breaks/replaces (that means that users will need to manually install kde-spectacle, kdegraphics or kde-standard), or provide a transitional package in kde-spectacle to replace ksnapshot.

In any case, ksnapshot reverse dependencies need to be updated (we can't drop ksnapshot without doing this first, and it's still an important step even if we provide a transitional package), currently, the only reverse dependency that needs to be updated is education-desktop-kde.

I'll add the transitional package to ksnapshot, could you take care of sending the bug report to education-desktop-kde? (please cc the debian-qt-kde mailing list).

Happy hacking,
