Package: libgif4
Version: 4.1.4-1
Severity: important

Hi!

I recently discovered that on my testing/unstable system, giflib3g and
giflib3g-dev are no longer available from the repository. I tried to
upgrade these to libgif4 and libgif-dev, but that broke a lot of
dependencies because libgif4 Conflicts: with libungif4g and Replaces: it.

However, the package does not have a Provides: attribute for libungif4g,
so all packages depending on that will be broken by installing libgif4.

I see two solutions to this:
 - State in the libgif4 package that it Provides: libungif4g
 - Convince all the other packages' maintainers to depend on libungif4g |
   libgif4. That would be an awful lot of packages.

These packages currently depend on libungif4g: (as reported by aptitude)
