Package: libqt5core5a
Version: 5.2.0+dfsg-7
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
with the upgrade to libqt5core5a some foreign packages were forced to uninstall
because they depend on libqt5core5.
As far as I understand libqt5core5a ist backward compatible with libqt5core5,
so shoulden't libqt5core5a have a "Provides" tag stating the backwart
compatibility?

Which packages? Everything in the Debian archive has been rebuilt thus
getting the new dependency.

No, libqt5core5a is *not* ABI-compatible with libqt5core5.
This is not a bug (libqt5core5 is gone from Debian), hence closing.
