Hello. This problem unfortunately affects every Ada package. According to the Debian policy for Ada, an Ada library should change its -dev version when the source changes, but libgnat (provided by the gnat-6 binary package, built from the gcc-6 source package) is granted an exception. The GCC source package cannot afford passing in the NEW queue once in a while for convenience of Ada users. Circumventing this specific mismatch between gnat-6 versions requires a source upload of every Ada package. This will probably wait the migration to gnat-7. Gcc-7 should now report the problem sooner, so that we at least avoid spending time to diagnose the problem. Thanks for reporting.
