Package: libpinyin13-dev
Version: 2.1.0-1~exp3
Severity: serious

libpinyin13-dev and libpinyin7-dev both include these files:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpinyin.a
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpinyin.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/libpinyin.pc

I think you need to add Conflicts: libpinyin7-dev.

See Debian Policy § 7.4
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/#conflicting-binary-packages-conflicts

By the way, why haven't you uploaded the new libpinyin to unstable yet?

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha

The current control for libpinyin13-dev is:

  Package: libpinyin13-dev
  Provides: libpinyin-dev
  Conflicts: libpinyin-dev

And after checking the policy, I think it falls to the following case
described in policy:

  Conflicts should be used
  ..
    * in conjunction with Provides when only one package providing a given virtual facility may be unpacked at a time (see Virtual packages - Provides),

So I think we don't need to Conflicts libpinyin7-dev.
