Package: timidity Version: unknown Severity: serious Tags: sid Justification: uninstallable in unstable (policy 5.3)
Hi! A new release of jack-audio-connection-kit (0.100.0-2) has been uploaded to Debian unstable. The old library libjack0.80.0-0 (and libjack0.80.0-dev) have been removed and replaced with libjack0.100.0-0 and libjack0.100.0-dev since the API changed in some parts. For most packages that means a simple rebuild. Since libjack0.80.0 has been removed from unstable, this is a release-critical issue. A few notes about how to resolve this bug: 1. Please Build-Depend only on libjack0.100.0-dev. Build-Depending on libjack-dev as a virtual alternative allows the autobuilders to build against the old libjack0.80.0 if they find it. (Versioned virtual dependencies probably don't work.) 2. There are some packages (like for example xmms-jackasyn) which "accidently" obtain a dependency on libjack0.80.0-0 but do not Build-Depend on it. In my opinion this is incorrect. But if you want to maintain that indirect dependency, you will have to coordinate with the package's maintainer whose package you are build-depending on (libjackasyn-dev in the case of xmms-jackasyn) and and only upload your package (xmms-jackasyn; with a suitable _versioned_ build-dependency on the other package, libjackasy-dev) iff the other package has already been uploaded (and built on as many architectures as possible to lighten the pressure of failed builds). 3. If this transition collides with the C++ transition for your package (because it may be/contain a C++ library), then please follow the timeline of the C++ transition instead of this one. (Thanks to Adeodato Simó for these hints). A list of the packages for each maintainer and a list of the affected source packages has been attached. Robert.
