Bug#924911: gcc-8-base: please add Breaks: gnat-6 (<< 6.4)



Package: gcc-8-base
Version: 8.3.0-3
Severity: important

Hi,

this should fix some upgrade paths from stretch to buster as encountered
by piuparts. In some cases apt tries to keep gnat-6 installed instead of
installing gnat-8. The existing Breaks: gnat (<< 7) is not sufficient to
"solve" this properly. While I haven't tried to rebuild gcc-8 with this
change and rerun the test with that version available, I'm pretty sure
from my experience in the last years that this will work as intended.
The version (<< 6.4) is chosen to cover upgrades from stretch (which
currently has 6.3.0-18+deb9u1), but not touch setups where people still
have the newer 6.4 or 6.5 (that was previously in sid/testing) installed
(in case such setups are actually possible).

Andreas

PS: I have a machine that still has every g++-x(.y) installed that was
in sid since g++-4.3 (and the corresponding for clang) :-)
