[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#968730: fixed in nifticlib 3.0.1-1

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

control: reopen -1
control: notifxed -1 3.0.1-1


Hello, how can three different binaries provide the very same old -dev library?

what happens now is that apt gets the old real cruft binary -dev package, and not the virtual provided one
(because it seems to have higher priority).

So the rebuilds won't pick up the new library.

I think you have multiple ways to solve:
1) restore the old dev package as a binary package that depends on the three new split -dev
2) fix and patch all the reverse dependencies to depend on the right subpackage (or all if they need them all).

Or something else I'm not aware right now.
