Can someone look into this and fix it?
libgdal.so.1-1.11.1 is a virtual package provided by libgdal1h of the same source package. The virtual package dependencies are added to ease transition tracking for packages that depend on the C++ symbols in libgdal.so. Every time a new minor version of gdal is uploaded all reverse dependencies that use on C++ symbols need to be rebuilt. The packages that rely on C++ symbols can be determined by their dependency on the libgdal.so.1-<VERSION> virtual package. For backgrounds on this virtual package see: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=756867#30 Kind Regards, Bas -- GPG Key ID: 4096R/6750F10AE88D4AF1 Fingerprint: 8182 DE41 7056 408D 6146 50D1 6750 F10A E88D 4AF1 _______________________________________________ UbuntuGIS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu http://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/wiki
