Re: mpop: version 1.0.5-1etch1 uninstallable on Etch

[Bruno De Fraine <bruno@defraine.net>]

Hello,

This bug is quite annoying, since an uninstallable package is  
something you don't want to encounter in the latest stable distribution.

Strangely enough, it seems the binary package was just built on the  
wrong distribution in preparation of the 4.0r1 update, because  
building it from source on etch seems to produce a working binary,  
with 'good' dependencies:

$ dpkg-deb -I mpop_1.0.5-1etch1_i386.deb | grep Depends
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6), libcomerr2 (>= 1.33-3), libgcrypt11 (>=  
1.2.2), libgnutls13 (>= 1.4.0-0), libgpg-error0 (>= 1.4), libgsasl7,  
libidn11 (>= 0.5.18), libkrb53 (>= 1.4.2), libtasn1-3 (>= 0.3.4),  
zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.1)

I'm CC-ing this to the debian-release list to see if anything can be  
done to unlock this situation.

Thank you,
Bruno De Fraine
