Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version: 1.1.2-1
Severity: normal

Hi there,

when trying to build xserver-xorg-input-synaptics from unstable against a lenny
system, the fails with this messages:

gcc -Wall -g -O2 -I/usr/include/xorg -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I../../src -o synclient synclient.o  -lm -lX11 -lXi

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

The reason is that libxi6 in stable is to old for unstable's
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics, which of course by itself is okay. Having the
build fail instead of not starting at all because of the missmatched versions
isn't...

Please change the unversioned dependency on 
  libxi-dev
into a versioned dependency on somewhere around 1.2.0, where the appropriate
symbols seem to have been introduced.



btw, backporting the rest of X from unstable to stable worked really
straigtforward, mostly it's been a plain recompile.
