Don't be in hurry: you need to fix it in _sid_ (unstable), not in testing which has previous version still (hopefully anyway). Please note that I already uploaded new version of qemu-kvm (a package which prompted me to file this bugreport) with "fixed" build-dependency (libvdeplug-dev | libvdeplug2-dev). I'll keep it this way for at least wheezy+, due to squeeze-backports. > After the migration it's clearly deprecated to use libvdeplug-dev as > build dependency. We'll take care to contact other maintainers and Do you mean libvdeplug2-dev instead of libvdeplug-dev? The latter has just been introduced, so I see no good reason to deprecate it. > inform them about the change, and we'll remove again the Provides: line > once it's safer to do so. Please don't do that soon, keep it for wheezy+. You'll be making it harder for squeeze->wheezy migration. For -dev packages it is not as important for libraries, but there's just no reason to be in hurry here. > Sorry for the inconvenience. :-) Thank you for taking care of this! /mjt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
