[Pkg-ime-devel] Bug#888101: libpinyin13-dev ships same files as libpinyin7-dev without Conflicts

[Jeremy Bicha]

Package: libpinyin13-dev
Version: 2.1.0-1~exp3
Severity: serious

libpinyin13-dev and libpinyin7-dev both include these files:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpinyin.a
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpinyin.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/libpinyin.pc

I think you need to add Conflicts: libpinyin7-dev.

See Debian Policy § 7.4
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/#conflicting-binary-packages-conflicts

By the way, why haven't you uploaded the new libpinyin to unstable yet?

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
