retitle 577209 libdbi-perl: DBI<>DBD ABI change breaks partial upgrades
severity 577209 serious
thanks
The sid breakage should be gone with the binNMUs, but I think the partial
upgrade issue is RC, so reopening and reassigning.

Unfortunately it's not enough: the other direction may break too.
ii libdbd-pg-perl 2.17.1-1+b1 Perl DBI driver for the
PostgreSQL database server
ii libdbi-perl 1.609-1 Perl Database Interface (DBI)
% perl -MDBI -e 'DBI->connect("dbi:Pg:foo")'
install_driver(Pg) failed: DBI/DBD internal version mismatch (DBI is v94/s208,
DBD Pg.xsi expected v95/s208) you probably need to rebuild the DBD driver (or
possibly the DBI).
Compilation failed in require at (eval 3) line 3.
This also means that if any of the binNMUs migrate to testing before
libdbi-perl 1.610.90-2 they will be broken there.
So AFAICS we need (at a minimum) both
- Breaks: entries in libdbi-perl and
- sourceful uploads of all the libdbd-*-perl packages with bumped build
and runtime dependencies as was already done for libdbd-mysql-perl

Please note that libdbd-sybase-perl has different binNMU versions on
different architectures (and that << +b2 isn't actually correct for any
of them if I read http://packages.debian.org/libdbd-sybase-perl correctly.)
Using the binNMU suffixes here seems rather fragile to me. I think it's
going to break for derivative distributions as their binNMUs aren't in
sync with ours.
Also, stable updates could be a problem at least for libdbd-sybase-perl
and libdbd-oracle-perl which have the same source version in all the
suites. If the lenny version gets a security fix and increments the
source version, the Breaks in squeeze no longer affects it and it breaks
on partial lenny->squeeze upgrades.
As we seem to need sourceful uploads for all the affected packages after
all, I think libdbi-perl should just Break: all the earlier versions.
Determining the correct numbers can only be done afterwards, so it
may make sense to postpone this step.
At this point, I think that implementing the perl-dbdabi-xxx scheme
has very little extra cost. Again, the benefit is that another version
change in the future (however improbable) can be handled with simple
binNMUs with no need for new Breaks entries or anything like that.
Proof of concept attached as patches against libdbi-perl and
libdbd-pg-perl. Eyeballs and comments would be welcome.
