Thanks Matt for your explanation.

This also means that this ABI pkg problem always occurrs during release time for a short time period for RC versions and the master branch?

>The ABI for package purposes can be a little confusing during release time.  The release is 4.0 but the current 'master' (now 'after' the release) is 4.1.  For ABI purposes we round up to the nearest even number so the current 4.1 master will look for '4.2' packages.  6 months from now the current master will, in fact, become 4.2.  It's easier to manage the binary repo and the mirrors and allows us to do continuous package builds without having to juggle too many different names.  Each binary package set is ~60GB or so.
