Hello release team, I am seeking advise how to handle bug #801914 correctly. Apparently upstream made a backward-incompatible ABI change between version 2.83.5 and 2.83.6 without changing the SONAME too. I have read TransitionBestPractices [2] and the wiki suggests to rename the binary packages and to add appropriate Conflicts fields. I intend to rename the binary packages from xxx2.83v5 to xxx2.83v6 and extend the current Breaks and Replaces fields and add the old v5 binary packages too. Is there a better solution and is Conflicts strictly needed? Regards, Markus [please CC me, I'm not subscribed] [1] https://bugs.debian.org/801914 [2] https://wiki.debian.org/TransitionBestPractices
