Package: libgmsh4
Version: 4.8.4+ds1-1
Severity: serious
X-Debbugs-Cc: sramac...@debian.org, elb...@debian.org

The package name of shared libraries is supposed to follow the SONAME of
the library. In the case of libgmsh, the SONAME in testing is
libgmsh.so.4.7 and the package should have been named libgmsh4.7. But
now, the SONAME changed to libgmsh.so.4.8 and the package name should
have been changed accorindgly.

This broke every user outside of the gmsh source package of libgmsh4.
See for example
