Shouldn't that case be something that DPKG could detect and either warn or automatically re-install... or do it in the right order (first purge, that installed) and thus prevent the replaced files from being deleted? Thanks, Chris.

Thanks for the > information, let's see if this is a real issue or not. Well I didn't mean to complain :-) As you said, usually downgrades (well rather: purge + install the old package, here) work,... it's just this time, that it didn't because of what Simon explained in #1065022 and it took me quite a while to realise that re-installing solved the issue. That plus the vanished lib files and that probably more people might be affected by the issue, made me think that it wouldn't harm to CC d-d :) Cheers, Chris.
Bug#1065086: ITP: coil64 -- Coil64 is inductance coil calculator, that allows to calculate the single-layer and multi-layer air core inductors, the ferrite toroid inductors or chokes, flat square coil
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Patrick Winnertz X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org * Package name: coil64 Version : x.y.z Upstream Contact: Name * URL : https://www.example.org/ * License : (GPL, LGPL, BSD, MIT/X, etc.) Programming Lang: (C, C++, C#, Perl, Python, etc.) Description : Coil64 is inductance coil calculator, that allows to calculate a variety of different coils. This software allows to calculate the following species of inductors: Single layer close-winding air core solenoid Single layer RF solenoid with winding pitch Single layer RF solenoid winding with rectangular cross-section wire Single layer RF solenoid with pitch, but non-circular winding Multi-layer air core inductor Multi-layer air core inductor with insulating pads Multi-layer air core inductor on a rectangular coil-former Multi-layer foil-wound coil Coil or choke on a ferrite ring (only for low-current RF circuits) The planar PCB coil Tesla flat spiral coil The software has additional modules that allow to calculate: flat PCB coil with the meander form of turns; search coil for a metal detector; a single triangle, rectangle or round loop coil; air core toroid coil with round & rectangular cross-section; estimate influence of the shield on the value of coil inductance; ferrite rod core inductor; coil or choke in the pot core (ferrite or powder iron); coil on the ferrite E-core; coil on the ferrite U-core; coil on the ferrite RM-core; finding unknown permeability of a ferrite ring; recalculate any coil with ferrite or iron core by determining its AL factor; Amidon™ cores - iron powdered & ferrite toroids, Pot-shaped , E-shaped & multi-aperture ferrite cores; An optimal multilayer coil for the audio system filter (crossover); A ferrite toroid inductor at the radio frequencies with Q-factor & self-capacitance calculations; Bandspread capacitors calculation;
Bug#1065104: ITP: xar -- Archiver for the macOS eXtensible ARchive format
Package: wnpp Owner: Ole Streicher Severity: wishlist * Package name: xar Version : 498 Upstream Author : Christopher Ryan, Apple * URL : https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/xar * License : BSD-3-Clause Programming Lang: C Description : Archiver for the macOS eXtensible ARchive format XAR (short for eXtensible ARchive format) is an open source file archiver and the archiver’s file format. It was created within the OpenDarwin project and is used in macOS for software installation routines. This package can be used to unpack macOS .pkg files. I intend to have the package team maintained, and will therefore create a git repository at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/xar. Suggestions for a more specific team, or wishes to take over are welcome (the package is outside of my own topic, but I need it). The package was already in Debian until ~2010, when it was removed because it was unmaintained. However it seems that it survived and is under maintenance again. Best regards Ole
Re: New requirements for APT repository signing

I talked to David in #debian-devel and had a look at apt commit 50e3fee26a. This change requires a version of gpgv with support for the --assert-pubkey-algo commandline argument. The version of gnupg2 in unstable or experimental does not include this, so it seems we cannot currently test this in Debian. Furthermore, if you really need support for repositories with fewer RSA bits even after a new version of gnupg2 lands in Debian, you can change the apt configuration APT::Key::Assert-Pubkey-Algo which has a default value of ">=rsa2048,ed25519,ed448" to something else or set it to the empty string to entirely disable this functionality. Maybe this helps someone. Thanks! cheers, josch signature.asc Description: signature
