Bug Description

Dear maintainer,
Today I tried to update Kubuntu 20.o4 and unexpectedly discovered that apt wants to install akonadi-server

--------
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
  libkf5calendarcore5abi1
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove it.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libkf5akonadicore5abi1
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  akonadi-backend-mysql akonadi-server libkf5akonadi-data libkf5akonadicore5abi2 libkf5calendarcore5abi2 libreadline5
  mariadb-client-core-10.3 mariadb-common mariadb-server-core-10.3
The following packages will be upgraded:
  digikam digikam-data digikam-private-libs libkf5akonadicontact-data libkf5akonadicontact5abi1 libkf5akonadicore-bin libkf5akonadiprivate5abi2 libkf5akonadiwidgets5abi1 libkf5contacteditor5 libkf5contacts-data libkf5contacts5 libkf5mime-data libkf5mime5abi2
---------

Initially I had minimal install of Kubuntu. Then installed "digikam" which also installed "digikam-private-libs".
"digikam-private-libs" depends on "libkf5akonadicontact5abi1" which initially depended on "libkf5akonadicore5abi1" and now depends on "libkf5akonadicore5abi2". Unlike "libkf5akonadicore5abi1" , "libkf5akonadicore5abi2" depends on "akonadi-server".
I believe it's an unfortunate change for most Digikam users.

The dependency issue is a little more complicated than above, but a workaround fix is incoming.

---------------
akonadi (4:19.12.3-0ubuntu2) focal; urgency=medium

  * libkf5akonadicore-bin: Drop transitional depends on akonadi-server.
    This unnecessarily installs the whole server for apps that only
    require the core libs. (LP: #1872890)
