Hi all!
Bastian, thank you for filing these bugs!
None of the python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit rdeps are key packages, so I suggest you
upload a revision of pyqt5 without qtwebkit support and make the bugreports
for the rdeps like this one RC to have chance of shipping trixie without
qtwebkit.
As bugs for python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit reverse dependencies were filed quite
recently, I think we should give the maintainers some time to react and
prepare updates. I propose the following timeline:
- One week from now, on 2025-01-27, bump the severities to RC and post a
notice that python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit will be removed soon.
- Two weeks from now, on 2025-02-03, actually upload a version of pyqt5 that
does not build python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit binary anymore. (I will probably
also remove some other binaries without rdeps in that upload.)
- After pyqt5 is uploaded, we can bump severity of #1069574 to RC, so
eventually Qt WebKit and its remaining reverse dependencies are marked for
auto-removal.
Does this sound good to you?
