Re: [KDE 4.1 backports] [BUG] Dependency problem with 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 upgrade

[Richard Scherping <richard@scherping.de>]

>> Recently KDE4 packages in kde4.debian.net seem to have been updated from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2. Unfortunately they now depend on Qt4 >= 4.4.3, which is available in Sid, but NOT in Lenny. As these backports are made explicitely for Lenny, this is odd.

There is no problem in waiting for a complete 4.1.2 backport, of course - but it is a problem to have 4.1.2 "halfway" uploaded to the kde4.debian.net repository, as it keeps packaging information in a broken state for a couple of days now. This is quite annoying as it prevents a regular "aptitude full-upgrade".

I know that there is no other chance than to wait for a working Qt backport NOW, but I really dislike that broken state and hope that uploads will be done when working and not beforehand IN FUTURE. That is why I am grousing here ;-)
