Followup-For: Bug #879917
Control: found -1 4.8.8-2

Hi,

libgambit4-dev is still missing a Breaks: libgambc4-dev.
This allows install/remove sequences where libgambc4-dev remains
installed, but gets crippled, as in the attached log:


1m11.4s DEBUG: Modified(user, group, mode, size, target): 
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libgambc4-dev.list expected(root, root, - 100644, 351, None) 
!= found(root, root, - 100644, 329, None)
1m11.4s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared:
  /usr/include/gambit.h  owned by: libgambit4-dev:amd64

1m11.4s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified:
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/libgambc4-dev.list  not owned


This is a serious bug violating policy 7.6, see
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces
and also see the footnote that describes this incorrect behavior
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ (old: footnotes.html#f53)
