Package: cl-sql-mysql Version: 3.5.6-1 Severity: grave Tags: patch Justification: renders package unusable (uninstallable) Due to an upstream decision to give libmysqlclient.so.15 *different* versioned symbols than the Debian packages sported, Debian has been forced to transition from libmysqlclient15 to libmysqlclient15off. However, cl-sql-mysql hardcodes a dependency on the former, so rebuilding it against a new version of libmysqlclient15-dev is ineffective. (Granted, cl-sql-uffi's tight dependency on cl-sql still keeps binary-only NMUs from being effective, but that's another matter.) Anyway, the following patch drops hardcoded dependencies on runtime library packages in favor of using ${shlibs:Depends}, which I've confirmed yields correct dependencies; could you please apply it, or at the very least update the hardcoded dependencies?
