Hi Thorsten,

Analysis of the archive for the 64-bit time_t transition[0][1] identifies libricohcamerasdk as an affected package, on the basis that the ABI of the library references the time_t type.

However, libricohcamerasdk's shlibs file declares a dependency on a library package name that contains no ABI information:

$ cat DEBIAN/shlibs
libmtpricoh 9 libricohcamerasdk (>= 1.1.0)
$

It is not obvious that we should rename the package to
'libricohcamerasdkt64' as part of this transition.

Looking at the archive, there is a package that depends on this library, indi-pentax.

Since there is no self-evident thing to do with the library package name
here, we will not be handling this package as part of the mass NMUs.
Instead I am filing a serious bug because partial upgrades from bookworm to trixie on 32-bit architectures (upgrading libricohcamerasdk without also upgrading indi-pentax, or vice versa) will result in ABI skew and may result
in broken behavior.

Thanks,
