Package: hfst Version: 3.15.0-1 Severity: serious Tags: patch User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts
Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to properly upgrade from stretch. In some cases the old hfst package from stretch is kept installed in order to keep the obsolete libhfst45-dev installed. apt does not upgrade from virtual packages to real packages. A better solution would have been to re-introduce a libhfst45-dev transitional package, but it's probably too late to do this in a buster point release. Adding the Breaks should be easy in a buster point release. Andreas
