Ah, sorry - I missed the SONAME bump since the new version hasn't actually been published yet. In general, we do monitor both r-deps and r-b-deps as part of the backports testing process - see the discussion at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
In this particular case, you're right that the r-deps won't be affected by the SONAME bump. However, the r-b-deps are still relevant, since the packages b-dep on libmpich2-dev, which does not contain the SONAME. If they were rebuilt with the backport installed, they would build against the backport, so we need to make sure that still works. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Backporters, which is subscribed to lucid-backports. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/689217 Title: Please backport mpich2/1.3.1-1 from natty -- ubuntu-backports mailing list ubuntu-backports@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports
