the libasprintf library contained in gettext-base is built for the new
C++ ABI. IMO you cannot use the same package name.
Yes, I can, because packages linked to libasprintf depend (via the
dpkg-shlibdeps mechanism) on the library provided by gettext-base,
*not* on gettext-base itself, and I have renamed the library provided
by gettext-base and modified accordingly the shlibs file.
ok, I see it now.
I fully agree that it would be a serious bug if packages linked to
libasprintf just had a Depends: gettext-base, but that's not the case.
Moreover, AFAIK, there is not a single package in Debian using this
library yet.
The latter one is not a valid reason on its own, as there may be
packages outside the Debian repository.
