Package: libotr, release.debian.org
Severity: serious
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition

Recently libotr has been updated to version 4.x.x with binary package
name libotr5.

By the looks of things, it was done because of pidgin-otr package which
now requires libotr5.

But this means an un-coordinated transition has started, as there are 6
other packages that build-depend on libotr2-dev and all of them fail to
build from source against libotr5-dev:

* bitlbee
* irssi-plugin-otr
* kdenetwork
* mcabber
* psi-plus
* python-otr

Please do something to resolve this. Input from release team is highly welcome.

Possibilities I can think of are:
* revert libotr source package to 3.2.1-1 & upload libotr5 (4.0.0-2) source package
* keep libotr source package as it is, upload libotr2 (3.2.1-1) source package
* provide patches/NMUs to fix FTBFS for above packages when built
  against libotr5-dev.

Usually disruptive uploads like this one, should be co-ordinated with
the release team with a transition bug, and staged in experimental to do
test rebuilds.

Regards,

Dmitrijs.

Nevermind.  As the -dev package name has changed and the reverse deps
can still use libotr2-dev the current situation should be ok.  Assuming
ftpmaster doesn't try to remove the NBS packages before release.

Cheers,
