The libcapi20-3 package contains libcapi20.so.2, not libcapi20.so.3 as
its name suggests. This looks very much like there have been
incompatible ABI changes without an soname change -- but with a package
name change, which is quite peculiar!. While the package name change
ensures that other packaged software using this library will function
correctly, library maintainers are expected to provide at least minimal
support for local third-party software by not breaking the
one-soname-one-ABI rule.

This package also contains static libs, libtool .la files, and header
files, all of which belong in a -dev package per policy. You have added
a Conflicts: against older versions of the library to ensure that dpkg
doesn't complain about this state of affairs, but it's nevertheless
contrary to the fundamental goals of providing shared library packages.

Since the packages depending on libcapi20-2 in testing also appear to be
in rather sorry shape right now, including one must-go package that
depends on libtiff3g, I'm planning to remove all of these packages from
testing pending resolution of the isdnutils bugs.

Thanks,

Subject: examples/LDAP/samba.schema.gz provided by samba-doc package has duplicate
 attributeType

Package: samba-doc
Version: 3.0.6-3
Severity: normal

While setting up samba to use LDAP, I found that samba.schema provided
by the package has a bug, giving same attributeType to 2 attributes
(sambaPasswordHistory and sambaLogonHours).

The result is that if the file is included into slapd configuration,
slapd fails to start.

I've searched the net, and found
http://www.faqchest.com/linux/samba-l/smb-04/smb-0408/smb-040823/smb04082702_04824.html
that advises to change sambaPasswordHistory's attributeType to
1.3.6.1.4.1.7165.2.1.52

Rather, I should have cloned and retitled the right bug number. :)
