Hi everyone, I have posted my particular issue in the d-science list ( https://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2014/05/msg00052.html ) but thought it might be a better fit for here.
Basically, I have a python package foo, named python-foo and its debug package python-foo-dbg, which version depends on python-foo. Now say I want to rename the -foo suffix into -bar for both package python-foo and python-foo-dbg. The debian developer's reference suggests to Conflicts/Replaces/Provides the old name and change the name of the package to the new name in the corresponding d/control entries. I tried it and it worked well for python-foo to python-bar. However, dpkg does not handle the transition from python-foo-dbg to python-bar-dbg properly. You can find more information about the dpkg commands and modifications to d/control of the package in the original post linked above. Does anyone know a solution to this ?
