Bug ID: 524401
Summary: KDE neon: FreeRDP 3.30.0 package transition causes
pkcon update to fail and apt full-upgrade to propose
removing Remmina RDP support
Classification: KDE Neon
Product: neon
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Packages User Edition
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Environment
KDE neon User Edition
Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble)
Architecture: amd64
Installed FreeRDP packages
Currently installed:
libfreerdp3-3 3.30.0+dfsg-0ubuntu0.24.04.2
libfreerdp-client3-3 3.30.0+dfsg-0ubuntu0.24.04.2
The currently installed Ubuntu packages are internally consistent.
KDE neon repository versions
The KDE neon repository currently provides:
libfreerdp3-3 3.30.0+dfsg-1+24.04+noble+release+build3
libfreerdp-client3-3 3.30.0+dfsg-1+24.04+noble+release+build3
Both packages are available at the same newer version from the KDE neon
repository.
Problem 1: pkcon update fails
Running:
sudo pkcon update
fails with:
Getting updates [=========================]
Finished [=========================]
Loading cache [=========================]
Testing changes [=========================]
Finished [=========================]
Fatal error: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libfreerdp-client3-3: Depends: libfreerdp3-3
(= 3.30.0+dfsg-0ubuntu0.24.04.2)
but 3.30.0+dfsg-1+24.04+noble+release+build3 is to be installed
PackageKit therefore sees the newer KDE neon libfreerdp3-3 but cannot satisfy
the exact-version dependency of the currently installed libfreerdp-client3-3.
Problem 2: apt full-upgrade proposes removing Remmina RDP support
Running:
sudo apt full-upgrade --simulate
also encounters the same dependency conflict.
APT's resolver reports:
Broken libfreerdp-client3-3:amd64 Depends on
libfreerdp3-3:amd64
(= 3.30.0+dfsg-0ubuntu0.24.04.2)
Considering libfreerdp3-3:amd64 7 as a solution
Removing libfreerdp-client3-3:amd64 rather than change libfreerdp3-3:amd64
It subsequently identifies that remmina-plugin-rdp depends on
libfreerdp-client3-3 and adds it to the removal list.
The simulated transaction therefore contains:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libfreerdp-client3-3
remmina-plugin-rdp
The detailed simulation later confirms:
Remv remmina-plugin-rdp
Remv libfreerdp-client3-3
This is undesirable because a normal system upgrade would remove Remmina's RDP
plugin as a consequence of the FreeRDP transition.
Expected behavior
The FreeRDP packages should be transitioned together from the Ubuntu versions:
libfreerdp3-3
3.30.0+dfsg-0ubuntu0.24.04.2
libfreerdp-client3-3
3.30.0+dfsg-0ubuntu0.24.04.2
to the KDE neon versions:
libfreerdp3-3
3.30.0+dfsg-1+24.04+noble+release+build3
libfreerdp-client3-3
3.30.0+dfsg-1+24.04+noble+release+build3
without removing either FreeRDP client library or remmina-plugin-rdp.
Actual behavior
Both normal update mechanisms encounter the transition problem:
pkcon update fails with an unmet exact-version dependency.
apt full-upgrade resolves the conflict by proposing removal of
libfreerdp-client3-3.
This in turn causes remmina-plugin-rdp to be removed.
I have therefore not performed the upgrade.
Reproduction
PackageKit
sudo pkcon update
Result:
Fatal error: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libfreerdp-client3-3: Depends: libfreerdp3-3
(= 3.30.0+dfsg-0ubuntu0.24.04.2)
but 3.30.0+dfsg-1+24.04+noble+release+build3 is to be installed
APT
sudo apt full-upgrade --simulate
Result:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libfreerdp-client3-3
remmina-plugin-rdp
Repository information
The relevant versions are:
KDE neon:
libfreerdp3-3 3.30.0+dfsg-1+24.04+noble+release+build3
libfreerdp-client3-3 3.30.0+dfsg-1+24.04+noble+release+build3
Ubuntu Noble:
libfreerdp3-3 3.30.0+dfsg-0ubuntu0.24.04.2
libfreerdp-client3-3 3.30.0+dfsg-0ubuntu0.24.04.2
Both packages at the newer KDE neon version are present in the repository.
Question
Could the KDE neon FreeRDP package transition be adjusted so that the
Ubuntu-to-neon version transition is handled atomically/coherently by APT and
PackageKit?
In particular, the current repository state appears to cause:
pkcon update
↓
unmet dependency
apt full-upgrade
↓
remove libfreerdp-client3-3
↓
remove remmina-plugin-rdp
The currently installed Ubuntu FreeRDP package pair is working correctly, so I
have left it installed rather than forcing the transition.
