Source: libconvert-units-perl
Version: 1:0.43-2
Severity: serious

W: libconvert-units-perl: latest-debian-changelog-entry-reuses-existing-version 1:0.43-2 == 0.43-2 (last used: Mon, 17 Dec 2001 22:33:30 +0100)
N: 
N:    The latest changelog entry has a version that matches one used in the
N:    specified previous entry. All versions of a source package must be
N:    unique even after a leading epoch has been stripped off.
N:    
N:    Files generated by the current version of this source package would
N:    conflict with some historical files. This is because the Debian archive
N:    does not allow multiple files with the same name and different contents
N:    and the generated .dsc, .deb, etc. do not embed the epoch in their
N:    filenames.
N:    
N:    Please pick another version, for example by increasing the Debian
N:    revision.
N:    
N:    Severity: normal, Certainty: certain
N:    
N:    Check: changelog-file, Type: binary

snapshot.debian.org knows about 0.43-9, the changelog mentions 0.43-10,
so 1:0.43-11 should be a safe new version number to use.
