Hi,

I have created a new Debian package that finally got accepted into unstable
by ftpmaster. Thanks a lot. This is really great.

When I look at the package tracker https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/opm-common
I see "unsatisfied dependency on libfmt7 (>= 7.1.3+ds1)" that is blocking migration to testing. Current version of libfmt in unstable is 8.1.1+ds1-2.

As debian/control does only specify a dependency on libfmt-dev without a version,
I assume that this version dependency was added when the packages were built some time ago.

What is the recommend way to resolve this?

Cheers,

Markus

Correct, see the dh_shlibdeps, dpkg-shlibdeps, deb-shlibs,
deb-symbols and dpkg-gensymbols manual pages for details.

In addition to the unsatisfiable dependency, the binaries in unstable
haven't been built on a buildd, so they won't be accepted into testing.

Rebuilding the package (either via a package update or a binNMU) will
rebuild the binary, which will pick up the new libfmt dependency.
If you elect for a binNMU that will solve the buildd binaries issue.
If you elect for a package update, you just need to ensure your sponsor
does a source-only upload so builds will happen on built on buildds.
