Dear Ole,

the recent BinNMU of xar looks broken or at least odd:

xar/1.8.0.498-2+b1 depends on "libxar1 (= 1.8.0.498-2)" despite
libxar1/1.8.0.498-2+b1 has been built, too.

Shouldn't it depend on "libxar1 (= 1.8.0.498-2+b1)" instead?

Feel free to raise or lower the severity, as I'm filing this with a
default severity because I'm unsure of how severe the impact actually
is: It kinda looks RC (and hence might need a fix for trixie/stable,
too), but at least "xar --help" doesn't throw any linking error.

Stumbled upon it when I looked at why libxar1 wasn't upgraded to the
latest version.

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
xar, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is
attached.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 1112031@bugs.debian.org,
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.
