Bug#804502: yorick-ygsl: GSL transition requires rebuild

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Package: yorick-ygsl
Severity: serious

The GNU GSL, upon which your package as a build- and run-time dependency, had
a 2.0 release [1] which introduced minor incompatibilities with the previous
(1.6) release. I had left the package for many years at libgsl0ldbl because
such a transition was never needed. But this warranted a change.

Your package as a versioned 'Depends: libgsl0ldbl (>= 1.X)' for some value of
X which cannot be satisfied by the Provides: we added to libgsl2.  So this
requires a rebuild of your package against libgsl-dev (>= 2.0).

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch. The release
team has also been exceptional on this (as usual, they do rock) so see

which tracks the transition bug report against release.
