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.
