cf. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=620550 Current version of libqdbm14 (1.8.77-4) has gdbm emulation, and it will be dropped as, 1) libqdbm14 -> libqdbm15 (w/o gdbm emulation) libqdbm14-gdbm (w/ gdbm emulation) 2) libqdbm14 -> libqdbm14 (w/ gdbm emulation) libqdbm15-??? (w/o gdbm emulation) 3) libqdbm14 -> libqdbm15 (w/o gdbm emulation) libqdbm15-gdbm (w/ gdbm emulation) According to debian policy 8.1, removing symbols should bump library ABI version.
