See here: http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/a/asio/asio_1.4.8-3_changelog Does this allow us to close this bug? And at least degrade #738613 to non-serious? (Otherwise, your upload won't migrate to testing, either, I guess.) On 02/11/2014 01:40 PM, Julien Cristau wrote: > Please try to avoid versioned -dev packages.

For effectively two debian packages (abiword and resiprocate, disregarding ball) that rely on libasio-dev, it's hardly worth the effort of maintaining two separate versions. The other point being that (this variant of) asio being a headers-only library doesn't change the fact that any -dev package is only used during a build, but not when running any program (binary). In other words, just like any other -dev package, an upgrade of it won't ever break a compiled binary. At the worst, it leads to an FTBFS (as 1.10.1 does for both, BTW). Granted, I should still have started a proper transition, rather than uploading (an API-incompatible) 1.10.1 without notice. Please accept my apologies, I should have known better.
