Hi Emilien,
many thanks for your continuous work on gnuhealth package.

I'm not sure whether I'm fully understand this since I have no idea
about Tryton but if you think there is a hidden bug in the Tryton
packages it would make sense to report it.

I wonder whether you committed your last status of SVN since the package
does not even build in thie form. I think we now have serious trouble
since
Build-Depends: ...
tryton-server (>= 3.0~),
tryton-server (<< 3.1~)
is not fullfilled in unstable any more (and we need to create packages
against an unstable chroot. And yes, I have read (but not fully
understood) the Tryton version discussion with its unfortunate outcome
for gnuhealth.
There is another issue why I'm asking whether you commited your
last status since you should provide a smooth upgrade path from
previously installed packages saying
Provides: gnuhealth-server, gnuhealth-client
Replaces: gnuhealth-server, gnuhealth-client
Conflicts: gnuhealth-server, gnuhealth-client

I can perfectly understand this. However, we have other examples like
for instance GNUmed where even upstream prefers a manual database setup.

Since the versioning trouble this will most probably be the fate of this
package. :-(

The removal of the binary packages is automatically done once the
package with the changed binary package names will be uploaded.
Kind regards
