I want to make libqdbm14 dropping gdbm emulation, and add a new
exclusive libqdbm14-gdbm package to provide compatibility for people
who uses its gdbm emulation. But, I have trouble with packaging to
satisfy dpkg-gensymbols, and stop packaging there...
cf. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=620550
Current version of libqdbm14 (1.8.77-4) has gdbm emulation,
and it will be dropped as,
1) libqdbm14 -> libqdbm15 (w/o gdbm emulation)
libqdbm14-gdbm (w/ gdbm emulation)
2) libqdbm14 -> libqdbm14 (w/ gdbm emulation)
libqdbm15-??? (w/o gdbm emulation)
3) libqdbm14 -> libqdbm15 (w/o gdbm emulation)
libqdbm15-gdbm (w/ gdbm emulation)
Don't use libqdbm15. Upstream might (and probably will!) use such SONAME
for their own purposes in the future.
Are there actually any packages in Debian using gdbm symbols provided by
libqdbm? If there are none, I'd just drop the symbols without changing
package name or SONAME, and wouldn't bother creating a separate package.
