(please explain about the transition: impacted packages, reason, ...) Dear Release team, some time ago I have uploaded version 1.9.16 of grib_api to sid. Since upstream has chosen to embed the full package version in the shlib name via "libtool -release", this means that all reverse dependencies of grib_api need to be recompiled with the new version to update their dependencies. The new shlib package is libgrib-api-1.9.16, which should eventually replace libgrib-api-1.9.9. Unfortunately I didn't realise I had to arrange a transition before uploading the package. That is my fault, sorry. Reverse dependencies according to dak rm -R -n grib-api (arch lists removed): cdo: libcdi0 gnudatalanguage: gnudatalanguage magics++: libmagplus3 pygrib: python-grib ruby-grib: ruby-grib # Broken Build-Depends: cdo: libgrib-api-dev emoslib: libgrib-api-dev (>= 1.9.9~) gnudatalanguage: libgrib-api-dev magics++: libgrib-api-dev pygrib: libgrib-api-dev ruby-grib: libgrib-api-dev libgrib-api-tools The grib_api API is stable enough, so a binary NMU of all reverse dependencies should do. Ben file (as far as I can understand how it works, untested): is_affected = .depends ~ /libgrib-api-1.9.9|libgrib-api-1.9.16/ is_good = .depends ~ /libgrib-api-1.9.16/ is_bad = .depends ~ /libgrib-api-1.9.9/ Thank you, Enrico -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
