Bug#584545: unsatifisable >= in .shlibs, makes -gcj packages uninstallable

[Rene Engelhard <rene@debian.org>]

Package: libgcj-bc
Version: 4.4.4-1
Severity: serious

I was just testing OpenOffice.org 1:3.2.1-1 (built on uptodate sid):

rene@frodo:~/Debian/Pakete/openoffice.org$ sudo dpkg -i openoffice.org-gcj_3.2.1-1_amd64.deb 
Selecting previously deselected package openoffice.org-gcj.
(Reading database ... 328585 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking openoffice.org-gcj (from openoffice.org-gcj_3.2.1-1_amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of openoffice.org-gcj:
 openoffice.org-gcj depends on libgcj-bc (>= 4.4.4-2); however:
  Version of libgcj-bc on system is 4.4.4-1.
dpkg: error processing openoffice.org-gcj (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 openoffice.org-gcj

Let's see:

$ cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/libgcj-bc.shlibs 
libgcj_bc 1 libgcj-bc (>= 4.4.4-2)

$ rmadison -s unstable libgcj-bc
 libgcj-bc |    4.4.4-1 |      unstable | alpha, amd64, armel, hppa, hurd-i386, i386, ia64, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc

So the .shlibs adds a dependency on a non-existing version and thus
makes built -gcj packages uninstallable.
