Source: opencascade Followup-For: Bug #958905 Control: tags -1 upstream wontfix Control: close -1
Hi Yuri, Upstream unfortunatly does not properly manage SONAMES, so it is currently the only way how opencascade can be managed in Debian: The library packages of the different versions have the smae library name, so they cannot be co-installed. We need the Breaks/Replace to ensure that the updates will happen, as the different libraries versions are not binary compatible and we need to ensure the right version. OTOH, we won't have multiple opencascade versions anyway in Debian and the library transistion ensures that all packages in Debian will use the same version; at least in testing and stable releases. I understand that there are usecases that would benefit from be able to coninstall the libraries, but that should be done upstream first and then done in the Debian packaging; Closing this bug as wont-fix then. (I recommend yout to filing this request upstream instead.) -- tobi
