Hello Andreas,

I have modified the dependencies. Because of that additional packages need to 
be loaded during upgrade to get the missing file. If all the packages are 
already installed upgrade goes well. If only few packages (libopenhpi-dev) is 
loaded then they are held back during upgrade. I understand this is expected 
behavior from apt when new packages are brought in during upgrade. However the 
following work well

a. apt-get --with-new-packages upgrade

b. apt-get dist-upgrade

c. apt-get install libopenhpi-dev

I think the above behavior is ok. Is it ok to upload the new release?


Regards

Mohan

/usr/lib/libopenhpi_snmp.so -> libopenhpi_snmp.so.3.8.0

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package ships (or creates)
a broken symlink.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

0m34.1s ERROR: FAIL: Broken symlinks:
  /usr/lib/libopenhpi_snmp.so -> libopenhpi_snmp.so.3.8.0


You are probably missing a dependency on the corresponding
library package.


cheers,

Andreas
