We reviewed this, and while the filename in efivar has changed, I don't believe it's accurate to say that the soname format has changed. Inspection of the old and new binaries with 'objdump -p' shows that the soname in both versions is libefivar.so.0, which is expected. Provided that there haven't been any symbols dropped between the versions (which I haven't checked but that will be picked up by the SRU test case if there are), this Breaks: declaration appears to actually be superfluous. If there are API changes that result in incompatibilities, we haven't been able to identify them yet over the course of preparing this SRU. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1512505 Title: [SRU] [HWE] Backport efibootmgr 0.12-4 to 15.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/efibootmgr/+bug/1512505/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
