That said, I already include those names as > Provides for the subpackages in question. libapt-pkg-devel, libapt-pkg-doc is debian names , apt-devel and apt-devel-doc are the correct name Also URL https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/apt is must better than https://packages.debian.org/source/buster/apt By packing guidelines the old apt should be retired and should be already retired a long time ago and package should be orphan. After we should do package review as we did here and request the package again a simple releng ticket. The package review was approve and is ready to be imported. Also fedora-package-config-apt should be retired and not be a zombie on stable releases. In my opinion , we should avoid splitting packages in many sub-packages without a good reason -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
