Package: collectd Severity: serious Version: 5.4.1-3 Hi,
Per #755212, the protobuf-c package is transitioning to a new major version. This update requires the .pb-c.c / .pb-c.h files generated by the protobuf-c compiler to be re-generated using the new version. collectd ships .pb-c.h files generated by the protobuf-c-compiler in the "collectd-dev" package. Since this is an Architecture: all package, it can't be updated by a binNMU (AFAIK), so in order to accomplish the protobuf-c transition collectd needs to be re-built against the newer protobuf-c-compiler package and uploaded to the archive, hence the severity of this bug report. Note that ideally .pb-c.c / .pb-c.h files should be generated from the original source .proto files as needed, in order to avoid version skew between different versions of the protobuf-c header and the protobuf-c compiler. It may be possible to avoid shipping .pb-c.h files in /usr/include entirely and instead ship the original .proto files (e.g., in /usr/share?) if nothing actually depends on these header files. Also, collectd build-depends on libprotobuf-c0-dev. The -dev package has been renamed to libprotobuf-c-dev in protobuf-c 1.0.0-1, but for the time being the old package named is still provided. I would recommend changing your build-dependency from "libprotobuf-c0-dev" to "libprotobuf-c-dev" in the next upload as well. (Or "libprotobuf-c-dev | libprotobuf-c0-dev" if you want to preserve the ability to build the source package on wheezy.)
