,---- | 8.2. Shared library support files | --------------------------------- | | If your package contains files whose names do not change with each | change in the library shared object version, you must not put them in | the shared library package. Otherwise, several versions of the shared | library cannot be installed at the same time without filename clashes, | making upgrades and transitions unnecessarily difficult. `---- I'd suggest to move these files into a new gdbm-l10n package. Alternatively, the DOMAIN variable in po/Makevars could be changed to include the soname; this is something you might want to discuss with upstream. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.6.2-nouveau (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libgdbm4 depends on: ii libc6 2.22-12 libgdbm4 recommends no packages. libgdbm4 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
