[Koha] Koha Debian packages for 18.05.02 and 17.11.08 are up

[Narcis Garcia]

Thank you for your detailed answer.
I see in Debian 9 repositories that nothing else than Koha depends on
libhttp-oai-perl ; then this means that package's dependencies should
sure better this.

The order of specified dependencies in package matters:

Instead of*:
libhttp-oai-perl (>= 3.2) | libhttp-oai-3.27-perl, libhttp-oai-perl (<
4.0) | libhttp-oai-3.27-perl

These dependencies should be written as:
libhttp-oai3-koha (< 4.0) | libhttp-oai-3.27-perl

And a "libhttp-oai3-koha" metapackage with dependencies:
libhttp-oai-perl (>= 3.2), libhttp-oai-perl (< 4.0)

+ In the meanwhile, a bug to Debian Perl Group for libhttp-oai-perl
package could be filed.

(*) The problem is that first case matches with libhttp-oai-perl=4.03
