Package: libgsl2
Version: 2.4+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

since libgsl2=2.4+dfsg-1 reverse dependencies are broken, I experienced
the problem with bogofilter (which depends on bogofilter-bdb which
depends on libgsl2):

  bogofilter: error while loading shared libraries: libgsl.so.19: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory

This seems to happens because 2.4+dfsg-1 bumped the library version but
the package name is always the same and does not reflect the SONAME
change.

In libgsl2=2.4+dfsg-1 we have:

  libgsl2: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgsl.so.23
  libgsl2: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgsl.so.23.0.0

In libgsl2=2.3+dfsg-1 we had:

  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgsl.so.19
  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgsl.so.19.3.0

as bogofilter expects.

Downgrading to libgsl2=2.3+dfsg-1 fixes the problem with bogofilter.

Rebuilding the reverse dependencies would also work but maybe this is
the chance to fix the package name of libgsl2?

Thanks,
   Antonio

This happened, so this bug is fixed. I'm taking care of the binNMUs etc.
