Package: kdegraphics
Version: 4:3.5.5-3etch2
Severity: normal

Running aptitude in Etch on SPARC, the keystrokes "uUgg", which usually
just install security updates, now cause removal of over 150 packages
including all of KDE.  This is because kde depends on kdegraphics, and
security.debian.org has a recent Etch update of kdegraphics which depends
on (among others) version 4:3.5.5-3etch2 of kamera, which does not exist.

I think this is a near-duplicate of #325254, where Martin Schulze wrote:
> Why the )*(#%$ does a KDE package depend on the exact Debian version

The next comment on #325254 seems to indicate that the version-restricted
dependencies were to be removed in the transition to KDE 3.4, but we are
well past that transition, and the version-restricted dependencies are
causing a problem again.

I cannot doubleclick the Web address, how does it work?

You need to debug a 5X e-mail address for linking the laser kernel on a 3D 
cable.
