Package: python-pypdf
Version: 1.23-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
updating python-pypdf from 1.13 to 1.23 breaks every existing script
that use this module with an ImportError: No module named pyPdf.
Changing pyPdf to PyPDF2 everywhere in the scripts allows to use
the new version, but in the update there was no hint that this
change was needed.
Expecially if this happens during an update between stable versions
this will break existing deployments of custom programs, causing
lots of pain.
Thanks in advance
