Bug#790756: Packages are not fulfilling transition good parameter after rebuild
It seems that a rebuild of packages like kdecorations and karchive (and many more) create incompatible packages. This is ok when the dependencies would be correct. But these are not the dependencies mentioned on the transition page (libstdc++6 = 5). The dependencies stay at libstdc++6 = 4.1.1 or libstdc++6 = 4.5. They just keep transitioning to testing before the transition rebuilds are finished because their dependency look they they are build against the old libstdc++6 version. As result the users get packages which crashes due to the incompatibilities between the libstdc++6 versions and the libraries/programs build against them.

And this is because the packages do not use any of the new symbols, so they do not get the dependency on the last version. there is nothing packagers can do about it. Maybe a libstdc++ soname bump would have been much better. -- Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer http://perezmeyer.com.ar/ http://perezmeyer.blogspot.com/
