[Bug 1518730] Re: transitional package libgnutls28-dev cannot be removed unless libgnutls-dev provides it

[Andreas Metzler]

It might be less painful to simply follow Debian and let libgnutls28-dev
be a non-migration package and drop llibgnutls-dev.

Title:
  transitional package libgnutls28-dev cannot be removed unless
  libgnutls-dev provides it

Status in gnutls28 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Since the development package in Debian is still called
  libgnutls28-dev (opposed to Ubuntu), there are several packages that
  build-depend on libgnutls28-dev instead of libgnutls-dev. Therefore,
  libgnutls28-dev cannot be removed from Ubuntu 15.04, 15.10 and
  upcoming 16.04 although it is a transitional package. This is due to
  the package libgnutls-dev missing libgnutls28-dev in the list for
  'Provides:' in debian/control. Could you please append libgnutls28-dev
  to this list.
