I thought this was only for major versions. Anyway, there's still the workaround that was used in past Debian releases (e.g. jessie): provide the version from the previous release too, then make the unison-all package depends on both packages. I've just submitted a RFP bug for unison2.48.3: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=880541 IMHO, the current unison package should not enter testing before unison2.48.3 is available, or this would annoy users who synchronize between testing and stretch (AFAIK, synchronization between sid/testing and jessie was working too before this upgrade). -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
