No, they just changed the name to have it similar to the old 1.3 branch. They have not yet packaged the new version (where we have seen the ABI breakage). >ubuntu has libgdamm-3.0-8 and the new version has a different SONAME, no dummy >package > or conflicts/replaces are necessary at all. OK, but you still want to remove 3.0-8 don't you, and so for the transition to 3.0-9 you need a dummy package (and yes, you don't need conflicts/replaces). If we want to keep 3.0-8 (but why!?) then yes, I agree. -- Request: Upgrade libgdamm3.0 to upstream version 2.9.81 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190744 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
