If the Debian revision can't + be stripped because the symbol really appeared between two specific + Debian revisions, you should postfix the version with a single "~" + (example: 1.0-3~ if the symbol appeared in 1.0-3). + . + This problem normally means that the symbols were added automatically by + dpkg-gensymbols. dpkg-gensymbols uses the full version number for the + dependency associated to any new symbol that it detects. The maintainer + must update the <code>debian/<package>.symbols</code> file by adding + the new symbols with the corresponding upstream version. |
