Package: libboost-python1.40-dev
Version: 1.40.0-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

This package Depends on python-dev but on of my package (xbmc not yet in
Debian) only build with python2.4-dev and conflicts with python2.5-dev but
don't need to depends on libboost-python1.40-dev.

If I remove python2.5-dev then python-dev, libboost-python1.40-dev and more
annoying libboost1.40-dev are removed.

So my package can be built.

A solution would to depends on python2.4-dev | python2.5-dev instead of
python-dev.

Christian

The removal of libboost1.40-dev is caused by the latter depending on
libboost-python1.40-dev.  The dependency is a workaround for #548503
and will be removed in the pending upload of boost 1.40.0-3.  The
dependency of libboost-python1.40-dev on python-dev is intentional.

That's not the same thing at all: "python-dev" is used to depend on
the default version of python, which at present is 2.5:

Description: Header files and a static library for Python (default)     
 Header files, a static library and development tools for building      
 Python modules, extending the Python interpreter or embedding Python   
 in applications.

 Includes the python distutils, which were in a separate package up to  
 version 1.5.2.

 This package is a dependency package, which depends on Debian's default
 Python version (currently v2.5).                                       


I am sorry that the dependencies cause you trouble, but I don't think
it is a bug in boost (except, as noted above, that libboost1.40-dev
depends on libboost-python1.40-dev).

When I am faced with your situation, I tend to use pbuilder.

Best regards,
-Steve
