Public bug reported: Should there not be a virtual package that is named libevent that links to libevent-2.1.6? Now there is a libevent-2.1-6 that contains (2.1.8-stable-4)?
So that ppa's that has dependencies on libevent breaks.

It is meant to replace the asynchronous event loop found in event driven network servers. Currently, libevent supports /dev/poll, kqueue(2), event ports, select(2), poll(2) and epoll(4). . For backward compatibility and to transition to "libevent_core only" or "libevent_core + libevent_extra", the libevent source package builds the libevent library that includes everything in libevent_core and libevent_extra. -- Regards Falk ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 Package: libevent-2.1-6 2.1.8-stable-4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.13.0-12.13-generic 4.13.3 Uname: Linux 4.13.0-12-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Fri Sep 29 17:11:19 2017 Dependencies: gcc-7-base 7.2.0-7ubuntu1 libc6 2.26-0ubuntu1 libgcc1 1:7.2.0-7ubuntu1 InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-09-19 (10 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark" - Alpha amd64 (20170918) SourcePackage: libevent UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: libevent (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug artful wayland-session -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1720398 Title: package libevent is named libevent-2.1-6 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libevent/+bug/1720398/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
