Version conflict in squeeze, also in sid for wacom packages
In squeeze for the i386, the wacom-related packages are wacom-tools and
xserver-xorg-input-wacom. But it is impossible to install both of them.
wacom-tools is at version 0.8.3.2-1 in both squeeze and sid, whereas
xserver-xorg-input-wacom is at verion is at version 0.10.3+20100109-1.
Back in lenny, both packages had the same version number, 0.7.9.3-2, so
the growing discrepancy is suspicious. Firthermore, when looking at the
package description for xserver-xorg-input-wacom from with in aptitude, I
am tole:
--\ Conflicts (1)
---wacom-tools (<= 0.8.3.2-1)
so the two packages are in conflict. Nothing new seems to be in the
pipeline to squeeze from sid; the versin numbers are the same in both
distros. It doesn't seem as if waiting a few days will alleviate the
situation in squeeze.
Where should this be reported, and what is to be done about it?
