Description:
msgpack-python was recently renamed to just msgpack. To ease upgrades, the msgpack maintainers uploaded a new version of msgpack-python which is empty and depends on msgpack. However, when you do the upgrade, it seems that the upgrade of msgpack-python removes the files that should now be provided by msgpack.
I am not sure whether this is a feature or a bug, but it makes it impossible to provide transition packages to ease upgrades when renaming a package.
