Comment 27 for bug 274085

I wanted to test the ekiga 3.0 packages (thanks Yannick for putting them together!) However, it seems that the library packages are broken now. First, a normal dist-upgrade doesn't work:

$ LANG= sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[...]
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  ekiga libopal-2.2 libpt-1.10.10 libpt-1.10.10-plugins-v4l libpt-1.10.10-plugins-v4l2 ubuntu-desktop
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 6 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

And a direct install explains why:

$ LANG= sudo apt-get install ekiga:
[...]
The following extra packages will be installed:
  libopal libpt libpt-plugins-alsa libpt-plugins-avc libpt-plugins-v4l libpt-plugins-v4l2
Suggested packages:
  libopal-plugins-h264 libopal-plugins-ilbc libpt-plugins-oss siproxd gnugk mediaproxy ser openser rtpproxy
  asterisk yate callweaver libopal-dev libopal-dbg libopal-doc libpt-dbg libpt-dev libpt-doc
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libopal-2.2 libpt-1.10.10 libpt-1.10.10-plugins-alsa libpt-1.10.10-plugins-v4l libpt-1.10.10-plugins-v4l2
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libopal libpt libpt-plugins-alsa libpt-plugins-avc libpt-plugins-v4l libpt-plugins-v4l2
The following packages will be upgraded:
  ekiga
1 upgraded, 6 newly installed, 5 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

Yannick, why did you remove the SONAME parts from the libraries? A shared library "libopal" is invalid, since it breaks parallel installability of several SONAMEs (ABI versions), which is necessary for upgrades.

So we do need newer opal etc. library versions for the new ekiga?
