[...] > Sorry for the late responds. > Why will it require a sourceful upload of these packages (rather than a > binNMU) Hello, It is because we have libtasn1-3/libtasn1-3-dev/libtasn1-3-dbg/libtasn1-3-bin libtasn1-6/libtasn1-6-dev/libtasn1-6-dbg/libtasn1-bin (where the versioned -dev packages conflict) and the three abovementioned packages have dependencies in the generated binary packages on libtasn1-3-dev: ametzler@argenau:~/TIN/TASN$ grep-dctrl -FDepends libtasn1-3- -sPackage /chroots/sid/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.at.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-i386_Packages Package: libgcr-3-dev Package: libgnutls-dev Package: libimobiledevice-dev Once libgnutls-dev moves to libtasn1-6 it stops being co-installable with the other two mentioned packages. The reason why we have versioned conflicting -dev packages is that I needed to have both available in sid for an extended period of time. - libtasn1-6 has minor API breakage and the respective changes to gnutls26 were not eligible for wheezy freeze. What I did not mention before is that shishi will also need a sourceful upload, as it b-d on libtasn1-3-dev, but that can be done in a second step, as the binary package is stil installable after libgnutls-dev has switched to tasn1-6. ametzler@argenau:~/TIN/TASN$ grep-dctrl -FBuild-Depends libtasn1-3- -sPackage /chroots/sid/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.at.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_main_source_Sources Package: gcr Package: gnome-keyring Package: gnutls26 Package: libimobiledevice Package: shishi > and are the maintainers of the reverse dependencies ready to > upload their packages? I am ready for gnutls. The other two packages have outstanding bug-reports - libimobiledevice 2013-12-08 <http://bugs.debian.org/731707> - gcr 2013-07-08 <http://bugs.debian.org/715354> sadly both without maintainer feedback yet. All three packages are up to date in testing. If you want me to I can obviously make libtasn1-3-dev/libtasn1-3-bin empty transitional packages built from libtasn1-6 which would limit the actual transition to binNMUs. cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
