Package: gdb-doc
Version: 7.6.2-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I run testing and have both gdb and gdb-doc installed.


   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I am attempting to upgrade all packages to the latest version in
testing/jessie.


   * What was the outcome of this action?

Pressing plus on the package in Aptitude puts these messages in the
bottom frame:

  * gdb-doc breaks gdb (< 7.7)
  * gdb-doc breaks gdbserver (< 7.7)


   * What outcome did you expect instead?

For this version of gdb-doc to not be available in testing until it can
be installed alongside the gdb and gdbserver available.


This seems to sum up the problem:

% rmadison -s jessie gdb-doc gdb
 gdb     | 7.6.2-1.1    | jessie          | source
 gdb     | 7.6.2-1.1+b1 | jessie          | amd64, armel, armhf, i386, 
kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390x
 gdb-doc | 7.7.1-1      | jessie/non-free | source, all


The cause of it could of course be some bug in the testing migration logic
that keeps gdb from migrating but it really does not intuitively seem
correct that gdb-doc replaces older versions of gdb and gdbserver and does
not recommend or suggest the corresponding version of gdb.
