However they did that.... I wonder whether something is fishy here...

Just that it is questionable whether one needed one at all as other distros apparently still get a .so.1 out of 1.8.4. That's why I didn't upload it (yet) to sid.. If you asked me I would have said that.

If I understand correctly, you think better coordination would have been useful there. Sorry for not doing so, next time I will.

autotools-dev.


What if we ever need to change it for architecture stuff?

Oh, and because of the "autoreconf fails" issue which I *temporarily* (implied by "for now" in "remoremove autotools-dev usage (for now)" in 1.8.4-1) worked around by not using This then was changed to dh 10 without autoreconf in 1.8.4+dfsg-1 back in 2020. As long as this was in experimental, that was OK, but for unstable a non-working autoreconf is bad.

Sorry, I am not sure to get the problem. Skipping autoreconf has been a current practice for coinor packages for many years, see coinor-cbc, coinor-cgl, coinor-osi, ... for instance. And this has not revealed to be problematic.

for libreoffice, and has no other r-dep) should have been asked...

Maybe the person who did all uploads so far (and this package was introduced by me initially solely

But sure, next time in such situation I would coordinate.

I admit this. Still, we had the upload of 1.8.4+dfsg-1 by Andreas in experimental, no open bug about the packaging, no note in the debian/ directory, which is why I just assumed I should go on after checking libreoffice builds against coinmp/1.8.4+dfsg. I commit to monitor the transition and fix things if problems show up, which I don't expect.

Rene
