libxen3 and libxen3-dev have bogus Replaces: versions

Bug #286450 reported by Steve Beattie on 2008-10-20

Bug Description

Both libxen3 and libxen3-dev have bogus replaces versions listed for libxen3.2: "libxen3.2 (<< libxen3.2-3.2.0-0ubuntu3)". This should instead be "libxen3.2 (<< 3.2.0-0ubuntu3)"

(This causes some grief for tools that are parsing the packages lists for correctness.)

xen.debdiff Edit (1.5 KiB, text/plain)

Here is a debdiff for it:

I've replaced the versioned Replaces with an unversioned one as they aren't any packages with a higher version (as the package got renamed).

For libxen3-dev:
I guess the Replaces should be on libxen3.0-dev instead of libxen3.0 and I've added libxen3.1-dev and libxen3.2-dev to Conflicts (as it's described in the Debian policy manual for replacing whole packages).

I didn't add libxen3.1 to Conflicts for libxen3 as I'm not sure if it's correct.

I didn't subscribe u-m-s for sponsoring as I don't know if this bug is important enough to get an exception right now.
