Hi all, I am aware that keeping "libsane" name with "Provides: libsane1" is under consideration. In case that is not finally decided and current status is preserved, should not sane-backends provide a libsane transitional package? Something like Package: libsane Section: oldlibs Priority: extra Architecture: all Depends: libsane1, ${misc:Depends} Description: Transitional package for easier upgrade to libsane1 This is a dummy transitional package to smooth upgrade to libsane1. . It can be safely removed afterwards. Regards, -- Agustin
