Yes.  You should only have one libfoo-dev package installed.

Homework: Try removing one or both of these lines and try to build the
package.

 
If Conflicts or Provides section is not present, package creation aborts and handy hook shell drop-in script kicks in.

Very nice.

Fine this was what i meant in the now deleted because redundant
paragraphs of my previous mail.

Problem sorted.

Only using gmail address now.

I have closed the previous ITP.

I guess only things left doing are:

Generate a new ITP;

Add bug number to the relevant files;

Commit everything to git;

Confirm that the package installs correctly.

Rergards,
