Package: plplot-doc Version: 5.3.1-9 Severity: grave The plplot-doc package is uninstallable in unstable because plplot was binNMUed for the hdf5 ABI change, and plplot-doc, an arch: all package, has a dependency on libplplot9 (= 5.3.1-9) which no longer exists.
Arch: all -> Arch: any strict versioned dependencies are fundamentally incompatible with binNMUs. It's my understanding that the reason for this particular dependency is so that plplot-doc and libplplot9 can share a /usr/share/doc directory, which is also incompatible with binNMUs: an arch: any package will have an additional changelog entry from the binNMU that doesn't correspond to the arch: all package which hasn't been rebuilt. Please consider making /usr/share/doc/plplot-doc a real directory and dropping (or relaxing) the dependency on libplplot9. Either way, plplot needs a sourceful upload for the hdf5 transition. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
