This package contains the runtime libraries for librte_pdump.

+# All following packages are for ABI compatibility to older releases.
+# Newer DPDK versions are ABI compatible to older ones for at least one release
+# and more if maintainable.
+#
+# The cross dependencies in DPDK libraries would otherwise force us to conflict
+# with older ABI versions to avoid double ld.so resolution
+# (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2017-February/039659.html).
+#
+# But the conflicts in debian/control would make the old versions and thereby
+# the dependent applications non-installable until there is a rebuild (as other
+# updates would do).
+# But for our case that would deny most benefits of version named libraries
+# (e.g. the ability to have both).
+#
+# Instead of adding conflicts fields - whenever possible - provide a backward
+# compatible wrapper symlinking to the new (ABI compatible) implementation.
+#
+# Still as soon as (all) dependendent packages are rebuilt these compat
+# wrappers can be autoremoved (apt will take care of that)
