Package: libunistring0
Version: 0.9.6-1.1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I was attempting to build some package that uses gettext and got the
following error:

msgmerge: error while loading shared libraries: libunistring.so.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I was able to replicate it by just running /usr/bin/msgmerge

Version:

i  libunistring0:amd64 0.9.3-5.2+b1   amd64          Unicode string
library for C

has the files:

dpkg --listfiles libunistring0 | grep libunistring.so.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libunistring.so.0.1.2
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libunistring.so.0

Version
ii  libunistring0:amd64 0.9.6-1.1      amd64          Unicode string
library for C

has the files:

dpkg --listfiles libunistring0 | grep libunistring.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libunistring.so.2.0.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libunistring.so.2

I'm pretty sure that means the package name libunistring0 should've
been named
libunistring2 and there probably needs to be a transition.
