It provides both, but currently I am not even building libcrypt.so.2 since I do not see the point. md@bongo:/USR3/src/P/libxcrypt$ dpkg-deb -c libcrypt1_4.4.8-1_amd64.deb drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2019-09-01 22:04 ./ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2019-09-01 22:04 ./lib/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2019-09-01 22:04 ./lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ -rw-r--r-- root/root 202680 2019-09-01 22:04 ./lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypt.so.1.1.0 drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2019-09-01 22:04 ./usr/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2019-09-01 22:04 ./usr/share/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2019-09-01 22:04 ./usr/share/doc/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2019-09-01 22:04 ./usr/share/doc/libcrypt1/ -rw-r--r-- root/root 6476 2019-09-01 21:03 ./usr/share/doc/libcrypt1/NEWS.gz -rw-r--r-- root/root 4052 2019-03-06 00:02 ./usr/share/doc/libcrypt1/README.md.gz -rw-r--r-- root/root 799 2019-09-01 22:04 ./usr/share/doc/libcrypt1/changelog.Debian.gz -rw-r--r-- root/root 5628 2019-09-01 22:04 ./usr/share/doc/libcrypt1/copyright lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2019-09-01 22:04 ./lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypt.so.1 -> libcrypt.so.1.1.0 lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2019-09-01 22:04 ./usr/share/doc/libcrypt1/TODO -> TODO.md So I think that libc6 should have Depends/Replaces on libcrypt1. I suggest that we make a pass in experimental to be sure to not leave unstable uninstallable for days. -- ciao, Marco
