Package: libtasn1-2
Version: 0.3.1-1
Severity: grave

libtasn1-2 changed the so-name and must therefore change
the binary package name.

The conflict with libgnutls12 (<< 1.3.5) was a nice try, but
it isn't correct and can cause breakge.

An example where this will break horribly:
$ objdump -p /usr/bin/gsasl 
Dynamic Section:
...
  NEEDED      libgnutls.so.12
  NEEDED      libtasn1.so.2
...

You could conflict woth all package versions that do or did
depend on libtasn1-2, but even in the best case it is only as
good as a renaming of the library package.


Yes, due to the known shortcomings of testing such library
transitions are a pain for your release team, but this is the
only technically way to solve this properly, and the release
team has freely chosen to use testing despite it's known
shortcomings.
