Hello hdf5-maintainers!
In bug #667599 we have a report from piuparts that APT is unable to upgrade delfin-dev from squeeze to wheezy. The problem is that APT has to decide in this process if it wants to have libhdf5-1.8 (= libhdf5-openmpi-1.8.4) or libhdf5-openmpi-7 installed and finally decides against libhdf5-openmpi-7. Removing conflict(+provides+replaces) for libhdf5-1.8, libhdf5-1.8.4 and libhdf5-openmpi-1.8.4 obviously prevents APT from having to decide between the two, so you might guess what i want to ask: Could you hint me at why these conflicts are in place? A quick check regarding the filelist suggests that the "old"-style 1.8.* versions provided a libhdf5.so.6 library while the new one provides libhdf5.so.7 so I wonder if these Provides are correct at all. At least there seem to be no file conflicts between those packages or did I miss the obvious? (leaving assigned to dolfin as this is just a guess) Thanks in advance and best regards David Kalnischkies P.S.: I am not subscribed to this bug, so please CC me. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
