Re: Bug#137595: libusb-0.1-4: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libusb-0.1.so.4.1.0', which is also in package libusb0
I have increased the severity of this bug to important. The
maintainer had previously reduced the severity to minor and tagged the
bug wontfix, but did not include an explanation.
Until there is a good explanation for why a broken package is a minor
bug, I want this bug to be important. I don't want to risk this
package leaving unstable until it is fixed.
