Package: libgvc6
Version: 2.38.0-1
Severity: serious
libgvc6 conflicts against libgvc5. Having different packages
per ABI is also done to make them co-installable, which is kind of
defeated by this conflict and makes library transitions unnecessary
complex.
There doesn't seem to be any file conflict, making this conflict
arbitrary.

wrong, the plugins conflict.

yes, I don't see a good way to upgrade. you could split out the plugins, but
then what kind of worth has libgvc5? It's my understanding that the library
itself is unusable without the basic plugins.
