[pkg-GD-devel] Bug#762325: libgd2: not binNMU safe

[Aurelien Jarno]

Package: src:libgd2
Version: 3.9.3
Severity: serious

libgd2 had to be binNMUed on s390x, unfortunately this makes
libgd2-noxpm-dev not installable. It is arch:all so not rebuilt and has
a strict dependency on libgd-dev (= 2.1.0-4), while the binNMUed version
is now 2.1.0-4+b1.

The debian/control file looks fine, but the issue is likely caused by the
use of dh_installdocs with --link-doc between arch:all and arch:any
packages (see bug#747141). Note that if you remove this link, you should
use dpkg-maintscript-helper to convert the symlink into a directory. As 
this is a transitional package you might want to not fix the issue and
just wait for it to be removed. In that case please do a source upload of
libgd2 to fix the issue on s390x, and decrease the severity of this bug
to important.
