I don't see the problem, the version he tried to upgrade add the problem
that ocaml could be upgraded without upgrading ocaml-base-nox and thus
triggered the bug at postinst time.

The version I uploaded yesterday had not this problem since it has the
strict dependency on ocaml-base-nox you talk about (assuming ocaml-base
is a typo in your text above). Trying to upgrade such a version would
have either forcebly installed the newer ocaml-base-nox or stopped with
an error stating that installing ocaml-base-nox was necessary (don't
know the exact semantics of apt). AFAICT dependencies are fine now with
ocaml 3.08.3-6.

Cheers.
