[Parted-maintainers] Bug#292781: libparted1.6-udeb Provides: field is incorrect (doesn't match shlibs)

[Colin Watson]

Package: libparted1.6-udeb
Version: 1.6.20-1
Severity: serious

  $ cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/libparted1.6-12.shlibs
  libparted-1.6 12 libparted1.6-12 (>= 1.6.0)
  $ dpkg -f libparted1.6-udeb_1.6.20-1_powerpc.udeb
  Package: libparted1.6-udeb
  Version: 1.6.20-1
  [...]
  Provides: libparted

Older versions of libparted1.6-udeb used to provide libparted1.6-0. Not
providing the package name listed in the .shlibs file breaks dependency
checking in debian-installer (although there are various workarounds).

Note that this was previously reported as #239334; the bug has
reappeared. Perhaps you could have a look at how it was fixed last time,
and do that again?

Thanks,
