If one installs libilmbase23 2.3.0-3 e.g. hugin > will stop working. SONAME bump in IlmBase/OpenEXR libraries is extremely weird and doesn't reflect the numbering in library name. Strange, but still. Check numbering and SONAME versioning for ilmbase actually in unstable and testing. You'll see how there's a pattern for that. > 2.

Opening bug reports against packages in unstable/sid which breaks stuff... that's a real thing. > 3. libilmbase23 2.3.0-3 is a package in Debian. Yes, it's a package in Debian... experimental suite, which is not supposed to be used by users other than developers working on bleeding-edge/easily-breaking piece of software. Cheers. -- Matteo F.
