Hi all,

Since Debian 8 is EOL, it’s past time to upgrade to Debian 9 (at least). However, upgrading from Debian 8 to Debian 9 uninstalls Koha 18.05.

Worse, when I try to re-install Koha, I get the following errors now (although I didn’t a month ago on a similar server):

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

koha-common : Depends: libhttp-oai-perl (< 4.0) but 4.03-2 is to be installed or

                        libhttp-oai-3.27-perl but it is not installable

               Depends: libmojolicious-plugin-openapi-perl but it is not installable

               Depends: libpdf-fromhtml-perl but it is not installable

               Depends: libtemplate-plugin-htmltotext-perl but it is not installable

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

(Also, last time we tried to install Koha 20.05 on Ubuntu 18.04, we encountered the problem with https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25886.)

What’s going on with the Koha packaging these days?
