lintian error weak-library-dev-dependency



is a bit cryptic ... the description reads:

Info: The given package appears to be a shared library -dev package, but
 the dependency on what seems to be a corresponding shared library package
 does not force the same package version.  To ensure that compiling and
 linking works properly, and that the symlinks in the -dev package point
 to the correct files in the shared library package, a -dev package should
 normally depend on the exact same version of the shared library package.


Now we have
	libkpathsea-dev depends libkpathsea4 (= 2007.dfsg.2-7)
and I still get these errors. libkpathsea-dev is at version 2007.dfsg.2-7.

Can someone please explain what is wrong with that?
