I would only use this if I'm aware of the problem already, but then I would surely have guess the right name.
Also aptitude show can list Provides
Good to know, thank you.
I think it should be case by case, sometimes there is only a single reverse dependency as in this case and going via NEW when Provides can actually solve the problem is a barrier as NEW queue takes an unpredicatable amount of time and license review has already happened once.
Well, since this new package was accepted that means you can actually upload it and remove the old one only when out of NEW.
I guess I'm also quite lucky with NEW delays. I waited a long time to get my DD application through though, so maybe I have some credits? :-) I always wondered if there was some sort of "reputation" system behind the curtains.
So I asked for removal of the new package as it seems the old one had extra stuff I missed (even though Redmine seem to work fine with it). I did not want to make a drama of this all but when you're struggling to gather time and energy and loose so much time for naught then it's hard to not feel bad about it.
