I expected the the updated libprotobuf9, newly renamed upstream to 
libprotobuf9v5, to install and provide an alias/symlink/virtual package to 
continue satisfying the dependencies of myriad other programs.

During regular system upgrade in the last two days or so, I get the following:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libprotobuf9v5 : Conflicts: libprotobuf9 but 2.6.1-1 is installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

      Remove the following packages:                       
1)      libegl1-mesa-dev                                   
2)      libgles2-mesa-dev                                  
3)      libmirclient-dev                                   
4)      libmircommon-dev                                   
5)      libprotobuf-dev

10)     libqt5xmlpatterns5-dev

      Keep the following packages at their current version:
23)     libprotobuf9v5 [Not Installed]                     

      Leave the following dependencies unresolved:         
24)     qtcreator recommends qt5-default                   
25)     qtcreator recommends qtbase5-dev                   
26)     qtcreator recommends qtdeclarative5-dev            
27)     qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu recommends ubuntu-sdk      


Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] 


I tried to let Ubuntu calculate multiple other solutions but all proposed look 
dubious to me and I've not tried any of them. I particularly interested in item 
23 above but am not clear how to proceed. When I've explicitly tried to install 
libprotobuf9v5 directly, a much more terrible solution is proposed.

>From what I can tell with Google search,
"https://www.google.com/search?q=libprotobuf9v5+%3A+Conflicts%3A+libprotobuf9+but+2.6.1-1+is+installed.";,
this appears to be caused by an upstream renaming of the package from
libprotobuf9 --> libprotubuf9v5, as indicated in the various change
logs.
