Hello,
The new upstream version of pilot-link 0.12.4 is not ABI backward
compatible. And upstream broke the ABI and forgot to change the soname.
I reported a bug to every Debian package depending on libpisock9 asking
for recompiling with libpisock9 0.12.4 instead of 0.12.3.
pilot-qof (libpilotobjects0) #535661
claws-mail #535662
evolution ( evolution-plugins-experimental evolution-plugins ) #535664
gnome-pilot ( gnome-pilot-conduits ) #535666
kpilot ( kdepim-kfile-plugins ) #535667
mhc-utils #535668
opensync-plugin-palm #535669
sylpheed #535670
The kpilot maintainer suggested to use Breaks: in libpisock9 to avoid
problems. I am implementing this solution right now.
So the next upload of libpisock9 (source package pilot-link) will break
many packages in unstable:
claws-mail (<= 3.7.2-1),
evolution (<= 2.26.3-2),
evolution-plugins (<= 2.26.3-2),
evolution-plugins-experimental (<= 2.26.3-2),
gnome-pilot (<= 2.0.15-2.4),
gnome-pilot-conduits (<= 2.0.15-1.2),
jpilot (<= 1.6.2.4-2),
jpilot-backup (<= 0.60-2),
kpilot (<= 4:4.2.4-1),
libpda-pilot-perl (<= 0.12.4-2),
libpilotobjects0 (<= 0.1.9-1),
libpisock-dev (<= 0.12.4-2),
libpisync1 (<= 0.12.4-2),
mhc-utils (<= 0.25.1+20090120-1),
opensync-plugin-palm (<= 0.22-2),
pilot-link (<< 0.12.4-2),
pilot-qof (<< 0.1.9-1),
python-jppy (<= 0.0.47-1.1),
python-pisock (<= 0.12.4-2),
python-pisock-dbg (<= 0.12.4-2),
sylpheed (<= 2.6.0-3+b1)
Some packages are already rebuild so the use of << instead of <= to
compare the versions.
Rebuilding these packages will then be mandatory and "urgent".
Questions:
==========
- Does dpkg in Debian lenny supports Breaks: already? It looks like
Breaks is supported since dpkg 1.14.6 and Lenny has 1.14.25. So it
should be safe to use Breaks now. Right?
- Should I upload libpisock9 _now_ and break these packages?
Note that this will break gnome and gnome-desktop-environment
- Should I change the priority of the bug reports from normal to grave
(making them RC)? In the hope of a faster response from their maintainer.
- Should I request for an "automatic" binNMU of the packages?
Thanks
