Package: mpclib
Version: 0.7-1
Severity: important

libmpc1 is used as a dependency for GCC (>= 4.5). Uploading a new mpclib with a changed soname built from the same source package makes GCC uninstallable, because the old libmpc1 package is not available anymore in the archive. And GCC needs GCC to build ... To avoid this situation, please upload mpclib with a new soname if the soversion of the library changes. Currently this is only seen with the gcc-snapshot package, but once gcc-4.5 is in the archive (and the sonmae changes again), this becomes a serious problem, which can be avoid by the changed packaging.
