What do you mean by "vise-versa"?

Here's libtevent0t64 -4 package:

Package: libtevent0t64
Source: samba (2:4.21.3+dfsg-4)
Version: 2.10.0+samba4.21.3+dfsg-4
Architecture: amd64
Maintainer: Debian Samba Maintainers <pkg-samba-maint at lists.alioth.debian.org>
Installed-Size: 169
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.34), libtalloc2 (>= 2.1.0)
Breaks: libtevent0 (<< 2:4.21.3+dfsg-4)
Replaces: libtevent0
Section: libs
Priority: optional
Multi-Arch: same


Here it is again but version -5 of it:

Package: libtevent0t64
Source: samba (2:4.21.3+dfsg-5)
Version: 2:0.16.1+samba4.21.3+dfsg-5
Architecture: amd64
Maintainer: Debian Samba Maintainers <pkg-samba-maint at lists.alioth.debian.org>
Installed-Size: 170
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.34), libtalloc2 (>= 2.1.0)
Breaks: libtevent0 (<< 2:4.21.3+dfsg-5)
Replaces: libtevent0
Provides: libtevent0 (= 2:0.16.1+samba4.21.3+dfsg-5)
Section: libs
Priority: optional
Multi-Arch: same


There's no libtevent0 package anymore, so it can't break anything.

What's the error message you're getting?

I can easily upgrade samba install from -4 to -5 without any issues whatsoever.
There's also automatic piupart test which is run before any upload, which ensures
the packages can be upgraded without a problem.

Please provide an error message you've got.

Also if you say libtevent0 breaks libtevent0t64, - please provide package
metadata from your libtevent0 package.

Thanks,
