Title:
  package libevent is named libevent-2.1-6

Status in seafile-client:
  Fix Released
Status in libevent package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.

  Bug or feature?

  Description: Asynchronous event notification library
   Libevent is an asynchronous event notification library that provides a
   mechanism to execute a callback function when a specific event occurs
   on a file descriptor or after a timeout has been reached.
   .
   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.
