reassign 693610 hdf5 1.8.9-1~exp1 severity 693610 serious tags 693610 + experimental thanks
hdf5 1.8.9 is not compatible with 1.8.8 as long as this check is in place. Either the check should be relaxed, removed or the soversion bumped. This kind of thing should be handled by soversion and not runtime <-> compile time checks, so removing the check completely might be the best option. attached a debdiff to relax the check to major.minor
