This package just adds some extra Breaks to prod wheezy's apt into finding
a solution for upgrades (#722912/#761047). Source debdiff attached.
Specifically, libcogl20 Breaks versions of clutter that link to
older cogl SONAMEs, while clutter Depends on libcogl20 and Breaks
older cogl versions like libcogl9. This seems to have been done to avoid
getting more than one cogl loaded into the same process, which causes
Clutter applications to explode.
jessie's apt is fine with that, but wheezy's apt doesn't always find an
upgrade solution: in my testing, a wheezy chroot + empathy (which depends
on libclutter-1.0-0 and its corresponding cogl) was able to calculate an
upgrade, but a wheezy chroot + libclutter-1.0-0 was not.
The version of cogl that I've just uploaded puts the Breaks: libcogl9
(etc.) on libcogl20 as well, which seems to be enough to push wheezy's
apt into doing the right thing.
