So Replaces + Conflicts + Breaks, a swell as Provides, as in
Package: libquantlib-1.2
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
Conflicts: libquantlib0, libquantlib-1.1, libquantlib-1.0.0
Replaces: libquantlib0, libquantlib-1.1, libquantlib-1.0.0
Breaks: libquantlib, libquantlib-1.1, libquantlib-1.0.0
Provides: libquantlib0
Description: Quantitative Finance Library -- development package
The QuantLib project aims to provide a comprehensive software framework
for quantitative finance. The goal is to provide a standard free/open
source library to quantitative analysts and developers for modeling,
trading, and risk management of financial assets.
.
This package provides the shared libraries required to run programs
compiled with QuantLib.
| The short Description: seems to be swapped, too:
|
| libquantlib-1.2 - Quantitative Finance Library -- development package
| libquantlib0-dev - Quantitative Finance Library -- library package
| quantlib-examples - Quantitative Finance Library -- example binaries
Ahh. Good. Fixed. in my sources.
