Comment 7 for bug 1309060

Hi,
Just wanted to see if there's any progress on getting this version numbering business sorted out?
The fact that your version of the package contains newlib-nano makes is significantly preferred, and it really should override the Debian supplied one when your PPA is added to a system.

Simply bumping your version number might resolve this temporarily until you get some consolidated effort going?
According to apt, the Debian version is 4.8.2 (specifically: 4.8.2-14ubuntu1+6), while this version is just 4 (specifically: 4-8-2014q2-0trusty10).
