Bug#324174: Versioned dependency to libfam-dev makes libgamin0/libgamin-dev uninstallable
Package: kdelibs4-dev
Version: 4:3.4.2-1
Severity: important
Some people prefer libgamin0 over libfam. libgamin0 provides the same API
as libfam and can be used as a drop in replacement.
The versioned dependency of kdelibs4-dev to "libfam-dev (>= 2.7.0-7.1)"
makes libgamin-dev uninstallable respectively causes the deinstallation
of libgamin0 and the installation of libfam/libfam-dev.
libgamin-dev has a "Provides libfam-dev" field so imho it would be best to
just drop the versioning requirement or if the versioning requirement
can't be dropped to replace it with "libfamin-dev (>= 2.7.0-7.1) | libgamin-dev".
