Subject: pidgin-libnotify: needs stricter depends on pidgin

Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 09:45:00 +1000

Package: pidgin-libnotify
Version: 0.12-1
Severity: normal


pidgin-libnotify should conflict with pidgin 3.0+.  Because gaim/pidgin
has a policy where minor versions maintain binary compatibility, but ABI
changes trigger a major version change, pidgin 3.0 would break any
existing plugins.

The pidgin-guifications package, to give a correct example, depends on
pidgin (>= 2.0), pidgin (<< 3.0).

This will avoid users upgrading pidgin packages and silently breaking
the plugin.
