severity 474039 serious
retitle 474039 version 0.9.6 of libsvncpp0c2a needs to be renamed to libsvncpp1
thanks

Hi,

I just realized that upstream did actually increase the SOVERSION,
however the package wasn't renamed accordingly. I don't know where this
is written in the packaging rules, but the name of a library package
needs to include the SOVERSION of the library, i.e. libsvncpp0 for
libsvncpp.so.0. Thus this package needs a new name for the 0.9.6 version
as the SOVERSION was changed to one, resulting in libsvncpp.so.1. And
the 0.9.4 version needs to be uploaded again as libsvncpp0c2a so apps
that depend on the older API don't break.

See Section 8.1 of the Debian Policy on the naming of runtime shared
libraries.

Andreas
