Package: libgsl2 Version: 2.3+dfsg-1 Followup-For: Bug #859493 Hi,
This can be fixed without a transition and such a fix would presumably be welcome by the release team as it would allow partial upgrades from jessie to stretch by allowing co-installation of libgsl0ldbl and libgsl2: - split libgslcblas into its own package libgslcblas0 (this one needs to break+replace libgsl0ldbl, not conflict); - make libgsl2 "Depends: libgslcblas0 | libgsl0ldbl" and remove the Conflicts and Replace bits. With this in place, APT will be able to: 1- install libgsl2; 2- install in any order everything that depends on libgsl; 3- install libgslcblas0; 4- remove libgsl0ldbl. By the way, libgsl2 should be called libgsl19 as the SONAME is libgsl.so.19 (Policy, Sect. 8.1).
