Firstly, make sure you've read libpkg-guide and it's bugs (especially the RC one): http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/column/libpkg-guide/libpkg-guide.html http://bugs.debian.org/libpkg-guide Firstly, do you need that library? Nothing in sid seems to depend on it, not even sleuthkit. I would suggest adding a .symbols file for the new ABI so you can detect ABI breakage in newer upstream versions. -dev packages should not have SONAMEs in their package names, what is the reason for the libtsk-dev -> libtsk3-3-dev change? If the API has changed incompatibly, libtsk-3-dev might be more appropriate. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
