Dependency on libdouble-conversion1 causes conflict

[Marko Stanković]

Hi,

Since this change:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/295556379/double-conversion_2.0.1-3ubuntu2_2.0.1-4ubuntu1.diff.gz

libdouble-conversion1 breaks libdouble-conversion1v5 and since this change:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/296573650/qtdeclarative-opensource-src_5.6.1-7ubuntu2~1_5.6.1-7ubuntu2~2.diff.gz

I have a conflict on Zesty with 2 resolutions:
1. Keep libqt5qml5 unupdated
2. Remove libdouble-conversion1v5 and install libdouble-conversion1
What should I do and isn't v5 meant to replace the original libdouble-conversion1?

Cheers,
Marko

The name was changed back to libdouble-conversion1.

So please choose the second variant.
This is not a bug, so closing.

Thanks Dmitry, I did so. I know this is a development version of Ubuntu and rough edges like are to normal, but can't this transition be done without conflict in package management? Is there a general document describing the GCC5 transition and the future of *v5 packages, aside from these two [1][2] outdated pages, so users can know which variant to keep in situations like this?
1: https://wiki.debian.org/GCC5
2: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GCC5

Sorry for the late response.

This is not a conflict. The library package is usually installed automatically as a dependency of some other package, not manually. So when all reverse dependencies are update to use the new library package name, the package manager will remove the old library and install the new one.

The library was renamed to v5 in Ubuntu, but not in Debian. In Zesty the package was re-synchronized with Debian, so the library got renamed back to its old name. The pages you linked were for the first renaming, which is no longer relevant.
