(CC'ing the bug) Well, I think the procedure was already laid out in the bug... Epoch or a ugly version like 4.x.y+really-3.y.w ... Another option is to fix all the reverse dependencies, provide patches and eventually NMU it. (And as eventually the maintainer will want to upload version 4 someday, one need anyway work with your r-depends to fix the issues) IMHO the severity should be raised to critical as it breaks unrelated software. IMHO not bumping the so-name is a (upstream) bug here... https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/blob/master/configure.ac indicates that upstream already fixed this: So a new version packaged (or cherrypicking this change) would help. -- tobi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
