Package: addresses.framework Version: 0.4.6-4.1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package completely unusable
The addresses-for-gnustep NMU left a hard-coded dependency on
libgnustep-base1.10 in debian/control:
Package: addresses.framework
Section: libs
Architecture: any
Depends: libgnustep-base1.10, ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
Conflicts: addresses-framework
Replaces: addresses-framework
Description: Database API backend framework for GNUstep
This backend provides complete access to address information for
applications. It is source-code compatible with Apple
Corporation's AddressBook.framework.
Since libgnustep-base1.10 has been replaced by libgnustep-base1.11, this
renders the package uninstallable in unstable.
A similar dependency problem affects addressview.framework; the other
packages seem to be ok, since their dependencies come from ${shlibs:Depends}
rather than being hard-coded. Since this dependency is apparently not based
on an ELF binary dependency, it would be nice if libgnustep-base1.11
provided some virtual package corresponding to the functionality that these
frameworks *do* use, so that this hard-coded dep doesn't have to change with
every soname change; but at the very least, addresses needs to be updated
now so that the gnustep transition can move forward.
Thanks,
