[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#907417: libmems: Wrong library Provides for libraries with different ABI

[Steve Langasek]

Package: libmems
Version: 1.6.0+4725-7
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu cosmic ubuntu-patch

Dear Andreas,

The latest libmems package builds a libmems1 binary package which declares
'Provides: libmems-1.6-1v5'.  This is completely wrong.  The libmems1
package ships libMems.so.1, and the libmems-1.6-1v5 package shipped
libMems-1.6.so.1.  Declaring Provides: in this way breaks all
reverse-dependencies that were built against previous SONAME (i.e.,
progressivemauve 1.2.0+4713-2 in stable).
