[Bug 190744] Re: Request: Upgrade libgdamm3.0 to upstream version 2.9.81

[Chris Brotherton]

I have a question regarding the debian package.  In the control file,
there is the following entry for the libgdamm3.0-10 binary package:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package: libgdamm3.0-10
Architecture: any
Conflicts: libgdamm3.0-8,
           libgdamm-3.0-8,
           libgdamm3.0-9
Replaces: libgdamm3.0-8,
          libgdamm-3.0-8,
          libgdamm3.0-9
Depends: ${misc:Depends},
         ${shlibs:Depends}
Description: C++ wrappers for libgda3
 libgdamm is a set of C++ bindings for the libgda3 database API.
 libgda is the GNU Data Access library.
 .
 This package contains the shared library.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Based on the discussion above (StefanPotyra  et. al.),  I was under the
impression that there should not be conflicts/replaces fields for a
library package with a soname bump since it might lead to breakage.
What am I missing?

libgdamm3.0_2.9.82-0ubuntu2 was uploaded yesterday.  So the problems
with the conflicts/replaces fields for the -dev and -doc binary packages
has been corrected.  However, having the stable release of the library
is probably a good idea.
