Dear Debian maintainer,
one or several of your packages (see the list below) depends on
libkpathsea3. The new version, libkpathsea4, has now entered testing,
libkpathsea3 has been moved to oldlibs, and it's time to start the
smooth transition. Ideally, no Debian package would be using
libkpathsea3 well before the etch freeze, and we could completely drop
it for etch+1.
Since libkpathsea was never properly designed as a shared library, there
is no defined API, and in fact it's unclear whether the ABI has changed
at all between sonames 3 and 4. The only thing you can do is try!
Currently, libkpathsea4-dev does not Provide: libkpathsea-dev.
Therefore, you should test a build with an explicit "Build-Depends:
libkpathsea4-dev", and if it succeeds, you can "Build-Depend:
libkpathsea4-dev | libkpathsea-dev" (unless your changes cause it to no
longer work with libkpathsea-dev which corresponds to libkpathsea3).
What to test?
There are two related issues, one is the transition from the TeX
Directory Structure 1.0 to 1.1, the other the library soname change.
Please check carefully that your package, as it is, still works in sid
and etch, i.e. files are still found in their TDS 1.1 locations[1]. Once
you've verified that, check the build with libkpathsea4, and please also
test whether patch searching is actually performed successfully.
In a short while, we're going to start the mass-bug filing on the
packages that have not yet switched.
Thank you in advance, and below is the list,
Frank
[1] And of course if you install files in a TEXMF tree, make sure to
adhere to the new TDS and the TeX Policy Draft in the tex-common
package.=20
