Bug#731603: libreoffice: libharfbuzz broken dependency prevents installation
Package: libreoffice Version: 1:4.1.3-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Dear Maintainer, Some libreoffice-* packages can't be installed due to a broken dependency between packages libharfbuzz-icu0, libharfbuzz0a and libharfbuzz0b. Note that the gnome package, which needs libreoffice, can't be installed as well.

If you can't handle temporary dependency breakage when stuff is rebuilt against a newer library: don't use sid. See http://release.debian.org/transitions/html/harfbuzz.html In fact, at the time you filed this those rebuilds were already ongoing (thoiugh amd64 failed because the hd got full). As Julien already said (and thankfully closed the bug when I was not available): not a bug.

If you can't handle temporary dependency breakage when stuff is rebuilt against a newer library: don't use sid. Hi Rene, First, thanks for the explanation. Actually, I don't care about this breakage because I don't use either libreoffice and the gnome desktop. Moreover, as an almost 10 years sid user, I think I can handle a lot of things. I just tried to be useful by filling a bug report. But given the Julien's laconic answer and the tone of yours, I understand I have not been careful enough. Then, to avoid to waste the Debian developers time (and mine), I won't fill bug reports anymore. I also found very fascinating how you consider that a package breakage due to a library upgrade is a normal/not a bug stuff, even for sid. It smells like quality work here.

It smells like quality work here. *temporary* breakage until the stuff is rebuilt. If harfbuzz changes ABI a LO uploaded months ago before that new harfbuzz wasn't even uploaded can't do changes *before* that fact to handle it. Yes, it should be handled. That Handling is a rebuild in this case and that one is/was done as we speak and while you reported the bug. As said: sid is _unstable_. Stuff like this happens. Stuff gets uploaded and transitoned in sid. This is the nature of sid. Regards, Rene -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
