Hello Marco, Imho the major point is that dev packages should not be versioned to allow migrating from 1 to 2 (at some point) without having to change all rdep source packages. Debian usually tries to avoid shipping multiple versions of a shared library in a release. Are libxcrypt[12]-dev API compatible in some way? cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin. His other friends are so grateful to you.' `I sew his ears on from time to time, sure'

Can you be more specific in why this would not be allowed? Currently I am not building libxcrypt2 and libxcrypt2-dev, but the package is ready to do it. libxcrypt1-dev and libxcrypt2-dev cannot be installed at the same time, but libxcrypt1 and libxcrypt2 can. -- ciao, Marco signature.asc Description: PGP signature
