Package: libmimelib1c2a Version: 5:1.1.4-1 Severity: important Maybe this doesn't bear any relevance now, but from my specific point of view this issue just ruined most of my day.
I am a KDE user and have been running KDE 3.5 for a long time. I have been deferring the upgrade to KDE 4 due to KDE's horrendous history of breaking essential features in new releases for idiotic reasons or plain negligence, and also because even upstream kept saying that KDE 4 wasn't ready for prime time until at least 4.2. So I'm still on 3.5.9 and happy with it, waiting for 4.3 to appear in testing. However, I recently did upgrade all the rest of my packages to current Squeeze. This then broke decoding of PGP/MIME encrypted messages by KMail. Today I found out about libmimelib1c2a having been replaced by a build from a new mimelib1 source package that is supposed to be ABI compatible with that from kdelibs 3.5.9. It seems that it is not compatible. KMail doesn't crash, but it displays PGP/MIME encrypted messages (at least ones generated by KMail itself) as blank messages with two attachments: - "unnamed" (application/pgp-encrypted) - "msg.asc" (application/octet-stream) Even if you aren't going to dive into the mimelib/kmail guts and try to fix this, please change the ABI version and binary package name so any other leftover users of KDE 3.5.9 (such as users of Lenny who decide to move to current Squeeze) won't get bitten by this in the future. -Julian -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (90, 'unstable'), (80, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libmimelib1c2a depends on: ii libc6 2.9-23 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.4.1-1 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.4.1-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 libmimelib1c2a recommends no packages. libmimelib1c2a suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
