Hi Luc, hi. Luc Castermans - 06.10.24, 08:40:38 CEST: > How do I best install it, when I try to install various packages I get > messages like below:
You don't. You wait until all necessary Qt 6.7.2 packages are completely built on your architecture. And until all packages affected by the transition are rebuilt: https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/qt6base-abi-6.7.2.html Unless you are willing to do without a few of those packages temporarily. I did so with Digikam which I do not use regularly in the past. I just let apt uninstall it and installed it later again. But as long as it would uninstall your complete desktop, I can only recommend: Wait. On my system at the moment it would still uninstall my desktop although for amd64 most packages are shown as green. So it is wait. Maybe they are still to be mirrored to my package mirror. Let's see. Maybe I just do not understand all of above linked page. Due to a lot of packages depending on private Qt ABI the transition affects a lot of packages. That is why I put out my original message as a warning to begin with although I myself did not understand the nature of the transition initially. The transition is about that private ABI, from above page: Affected: .depends ~ /qt6-.*-private-abi \(= 6\.6\.2\)/ | .depends ~ / qt6-.*-private-abi \(= 6\.7\.2\)/ Good: .depends ~ /qt6-.*-private-abi \(= 6\.7\.2\)/ Bad: .depends ~ /qt6-.*-private-abi \(= 6\.6\.2\)/ That is upstream decision to depend on that. So nothing packagers can do about it. In short: Do not attempt to force installation of some packages affected by a transition in the middle of the transition. You are just asking for trouble, a lot of trouble, this way. > root@canne:~# apt install qt6-base-private-abi -t experimental Qt 6.7.2 was uploaded to unstable as the subject line I have chosen says.
