This was what I misunderstood on the first pass, because you said "libkpathsea4-dev now provides libkpathsea-dev" -- no, it doesn't, there's no such package as libkpathsea4-dev, there's only the libkpathsea4 version of libkpathsea-dev in both testing and unstable. Instead, libkpathsea-dev Provides: libkpathsea4-dev, which is fine, but not what you said. And it does mean the package of the same name built from libkpathsea3 is superseded and gone from the archive. > > (This is an RC bug on libkpathsea3, btw, since that > > package can no longer be uploaded in its present state...) > A RC which hopefully can be resolved soon by removing the package.

You should file for removal of libkpathsea3 immediately, AFAICT. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
