package libjpeg8-dev does not provide dependency

[Addam Dominec]

Binary package hint: libjpeg8

There seems to be an error in maverick repositories. The package libjpeg8-dev does not provide its virtual package libjpeg-dev. The other version, marked obsolete, does provide this dependency, but is in conflict with this newer package. Because of this it is impossible to install anything that depends on libjpeg-dev if libjpeg8-dev is installed.

The library itself, package libjpeg8, is missing a "provides" dependency too (to libjpeg), but that does not matter much as it can be installed along with its older version.

This is true, see the linked debian bug for a reasoning.

libjpeg8-dev in precise does provide libjpeg-dev.
