Debian 10.3-64
When upgrading LibreOffice from "1:6.1.5-3+deb10u5" (Debian 10.3 64) to
"1:6.4.2-3", you are asked to delete libreoffice-gtk2" 1:6.1.5-3+deb10u5",
but for some reason you do not need to install libreoffice-gtk3. This makes it
very inconvenient to save a file in LibreOffice, even though "1:6.4.2-3"
only works with Gtk3.

reassign 956586 src:libreoffice
retitle 956586 buster -> bullseye upgrade deinstalls -gtk2 without installing -gtk3
severity 956586 minor
tag 956586 + wonftix
found 956586 1:6.4.0~alpha1-0reprotest1
thanks

Hi,

If at all, this would be a bug in the newer version, not the old one :)

Erm? No. Why?

And?

No, you just install libreoffice-gtk3.

And I believe it's the admins' job to look what a upgrade will do, see
that gtk2 will be gone and maybe install -gtk3. I.e. yours..

Even if one wanted to "fix" this - how would you do this?

Gtk2 support is gone. Even upstream.

Add a transitional package -gtk2 with a hard depend on -gtk3? Don't
think we should do that? It's not as if it was renamed or moved betwen
packages, it's simply gone.

Hard depends on gtk3? Don't think KDE people or people not using a
Gtk-using Desktop will like this.

If you installed via a task you'll get the task recommending -gtk3 now
anyway and get the new dependency - the tasks already got updated ttbomk.

Regards,

Rene

I didn't want to keep anyone busy for nothing. But if when updating LibreOffice
it is suggested to delete "libreoffice-gtk2" and it is not suggested to install
"libreoffice-gtk3" of the new version, then this is not correct. LibreOffice Update
without installing "libreoffice-gtk3" of the new version, it leads to degradation
features of the document saving window (a completely different and inconvenient window).
I realized this after reinstalling Debian for parsing, what happens with the Libreoffice update.
