Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

get a list of all packages depending on the private-abi virtual package thing and blacklist their respective appstream components in

https://invent.kde.org/sysadmin/neon-appstream-extra-metainfo

this is to prevent the user finding the ubuntu version and then failing to install it because it's broken

Excitingly enough apt rdepends doesn't actually manage to generate a list for the virtual package qtbase-abi-5-9-5 so we need custom tooling to even get a list of offending packages -.-

All ubuntu components are being masked now as we want to see how that plays out. Discover is being a bit meh because it still lists the packages if they match the query something that could be improved for sure
