Hello,

Your package kpilot (and also kdepim-kfile-plugins) depends on
libpisock9. I uploaded a new upstream version of pilot-link 0.12.4 and
users discovered unplanned problems (#532798 #535565 #535588) with
jpilot, another application also using libpisock9.

The problem appears when jpilot is compiled against libpisock-dev 0.12.3
but executed using libpisock9 0.12.4.

Hi. That kind of behaviour changes is not acceptable. Packages with their dependencies fulfilled should just work.

You basically have the following possibilities:
Rename the libpisock9 package or
roll back the libpisock9 behaviour change or
put in appropriate breaks to libpisock9

I never used Breaks: before. Do I need something like:

Package: libpisock9
Breaks: kpilot (<< 4:4.2.4-1), gnome-pilot (<< 2.0.15-2.4), etc.

How do I get the exact release number of the broken packages? I you upload kpilot 4:4.2.4-2 to unstable but still linked with the old version of libpisock9 the breaks rule will be incorrect.

Or maybe I should only take care of version numbers of the broken packages in Lenny and only support the Lenny -> Squeeze upgrade?

Thanks
