Package: libgsl2 Version: 2.4+dfsg-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
since libgsl2=2.4+dfsg-1 reverse dependencies are broken, I experienced the problem with bogofilter (which depends on bogofilter-bdb which depends on libgsl2): bogofilter: error while loading shared libraries: libgsl.so.19: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory This seems to happens because 2.4+dfsg-1 bumped the library version but the package name is always the same and does not reflect the SONAME change. In libgsl2=2.4+dfsg-1 we have: libgsl2: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgsl.so.23 libgsl2: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgsl.so.23.0.0 In libgsl2=2.3+dfsg-1 we had: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgsl.so.19 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgsl.so.19.3.0 as bogofilter expects. Downgrading to libgsl2=2.3+dfsg-1 fixes the problem with bogofilter. Rebuilding the reverse dependencies would also work but maybe this is the chance to fix the package name of libgsl2?
