[Koha] Koha Debian packages for 18.05.02 and 17.11.08 are up

[Mirko Tietgen]

The problem is that Debian 9 ships libhttp-oai-perl in a version
that won't work with Koha. So as a temporary workaround we use a
custom package, libhttp-oai-3.27-perl. Check
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20800 for
more details.

The conflict is intended. You cannot have libhttp-oai-perl and
libhttp-oai-3.27-perl installed together. koha-common 18.05.x
depends on libhttp-oai-3.27-perl.

We have tested this in various setups to ensure the upgrade process
works. In your case, it does not work flawlessly and you do not want
to use the workaround. That's unfortunate, but it does not seem
feasible for us to investigate your local setup. Given that this is
a temporary solution and you are "not in a hurry", my advice is to
wait for Koha to support libhttp-oai-perl 4.07+ and we don't need
the workaround any longer.

Tomás has also answered to this thread. He has looked into this
before and will do again eventually (I hope). He is a Koha service
provider, so if it matters to you, sponsoring a development is
always an option.

Cheers,

Mirko
