Any help in that direction would be appreciated.Thank you.
Thanks for reporting this. Note that #778750 has been settled meanwhile. With just the default theme, the package upgrade flow now works.
The question now is, how to handle custom themes copied to /usr/share/horde/[<app>/]themes.
My suggestion would be:* abort if custom theme folders are detected and provide a debconf notification
that tells what to do (move the custom theme folders out of the way, or
rather to: /etc/horde/themes-available.d/<theme-name>/<app>
* then we need a nice script "horde-enable-theme" (and
"horde-disable-theme")
to get the symlinking in /etc/horde/themes-enabled.d/<app>/<theme-name>
Please note, that <app> and <theme-name> are swapped in
themes-available.d and themes-enabled.d
The above explanation should also show how to deal with your personal upgrade.Other than that: would you be interested in shipping your theme variations as a Debian package?
