[Pkg-protobuf-devel] Bug#835385: protobuf 3.0.0-3: libprotobuf10 Conflicts libprotobuf9

[Florian Lohoff]

Source: protobuf
Version: 3.0.0-3

As per responde on the Alioth Team Mailinglist i hereby open a 
Bug against protobuf source:



Hi,
is there a reason why protobuf 3.0.0-3 aka libprotobuf10 conflicts
on libprotobuf9? (As do the lite variants etc)

In the end they should be co-installable - For me this forces
deinstallation of libphonenumber6 which in turn forces removal
of evolution. (All Jessie)

If users have self-compiled stuff against libprotobuf9 upgrading
beyond jessie would cause their binary to not work anymore.

The changelog does not contain a reason, it does not even
mention the addition of the conflict.
