[Splashy-devel] Bug#512419: libsplashy1 should depend on a specific libdirectfb-extra version

[Jean-Pierre Flori]

Package: libsplashy1
Version: 0.3.13-5
Severity: normal

I had the same error message as previously reported, so i checked my libdirectfb and libdirectfb-extra versions and found that libdirectfb-extra got updated to version 1.4 because i use experimental repository.
Downgrading libdirectfb-extra to unstable, ie 1.2 version, made splashy work again.
So I guess libsplashy1 dependencies should forbid libdirectfb-extra version 1.4.
Or the libdirectfb-extra package could be split according to its version (just like libdirectfb) and libsplashy1 depend on one of these specific package.
I don't know if it's a splashy or a libdirectfb-extra bug so feel free to move this report elsewhere.
