Package: libboost-date-time1.33.0 Version: 1.32.0+1.33.0-cvs20050720-3 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 8.6.3
libboost-date-time1.33.0 (like the other libboost*1.33.0 packages) specifies a versioned dependency of libboost-date-time1.33.0 (<< 1.32.0+1.33.0-cvs20050721) in its shlibs file. This doesn't actually work the way you'd like it to, because dpkg parses that as upstream version 1.32.0+1.33.0, Debian revision cvs20050721, and consequently *less* than any Debian revision of upstream version 1.32.0+1.33.0-cvs20050720. Adding a -0 to the upper bound will remedy that. In the future, using a second + before cvs should avoid this failure mode; however, that will not work now without introducing an epoch, because dpkg considers foo+bar-baz to come before foo-bar-baz. (You can verify this with dpkg --compare-versions.) Packages such as monotone that got built against the broken libboost*1.33.0 packages will need rebuilding against fixed versions. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12.3 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages libboost-date-time1.33.0 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:4.0.1-2 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.0.1-2 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 libboost-date-time1.33.0 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
