The latest version of STK fixes #1051564. Unfortuatenly STK upstream refuses to commit to semversioning their library, and instead attaches the release-version to the libraryname, following best practices as laid out in <https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Release-numbers.html>. In any case, the Debian package has so far followed this scheme (which requires a new binary package for every non-minor release), and the plan is to continue to do so (upstream is not very active these days). The new library name requires a transition for the reverse dependencies. I've done a test-build of the rdeps using 'ratt', and have not encountered any problems (the project's API is pretty stable) Thanks for scheduling a transition. mfardy IOhannes Ben file: title = "stk"; is_affected = .depends ~ "libstk-4.6.2" | .depends ~ "libstk-5.0.0"; is_good = .depends ~ "libstk-5.0.0"; is_bad = .depends ~ "libstk-4.6.2";
