Right now, there is a mismatch between libgnokii4 and gnokii-common. smxi tests for mismatches between libgnokii3 and gnokii-common.

Perhaps the long term solution is to search for packages with libgnokii* and test for mismatches between those and gnokii-common?

(The short-term solution would just be to test for mismatches between libgnokii4 and gnokii-common.)

updated for now to handle libgnokii3 and 4 and common, made them into a package group.

I agree long term better to use wildcards, but sometimes those bite you back long term when some new package comes along.

removed the manual hold, this should work as a group now, please test it and confirm.

All seem to have the same versioning, so this should work fine for now.

I just tested it. It does not work.

:: Code ::

$ apt-cache policy gnokii-common
gnokii-common:
  Installed: 0.6.27.dfsg-2
  Candidate: 0.6.27.dfsg-3
  Version table:
     0.6.27.dfsg-3 0
        500 http://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages
 *** 0.6.27.dfsg-2 0
        500 http://ftp.us.debian.org testing/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

$ apt-cache policy libgnokii3
libgnokii3:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: (none)
  Version table:

$ apt-cache policy libgnokii4
libgnokii4:
  Installed: 0.6.27.dfsg-2+b1
  Candidate: 0.6.27.dfsg-2+b1
  Version table:
 *** 0.6.27.dfsg-2+b1 0

smxi was reporting that no mismatch was found in that group.

I re-added the gnokii-common package to the manual holds for now.

there are 3 testing levels, I started with the loosest, today I moved it to the medium one, that includes -7 but excludes +beta.

I tested this and it's working fine now, I like to make the versioning as loose as I can to avoid unnecessary holds.
