Hi Andreas,

Thanks for the comprehensive followup.

I've uploaded a new revision of gmt to experimental that addresses some
of the issues.

This is the most serious conflict to resolve. I've contacted the
libgenome-perl maintainers [1], but I've not received a reply yet.

I've put debian-med@ in the CC as they seem the most interested in the
libgenome-perl package. Please share your opinion on this conflict.

I've also contacted the GMT upstream developers to raise the issue of
these conflicts between GMT 5 and other projects. [2]

The libpsl & gmt packages use different a SONAME. To ensure dependencies
on the GMT libpsl it's bundled with libgmt in the libgmt5 package.

To resolve the conflict I'm considering renaming the GMT libpsl to
libgmt-psl.

I've CC'ed the libpsl maintainers, and I would like to ask your opinion
on this conflict too.

These man page issues should be resolved with the Conflicts that were
added in gmt (5.1.2+dfsg1-1~exp5).

Kind Regards,

Bas
