Package: svn-workbench
Version: 1.6.8-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
I tried to upgrade to svn-workbench 1.6.8-1 and got this error:
    pkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of svn-workbench:
    svn-workbench depends on python:any (>= 2.6.6-7~).

This was confusing because the installed python2.6 is above this version 
already:
ii  python2.6                    2.6.8-1.1        i386
ii  python2.6-dev                2.6.8-1.1        i386
ii  python2.6-doc                2.6.8-1.1        all 
ii  python2.6-examples           2.6.8-1.1        all 
ii  python2.6-minimal            2.6.8-1.1        i386

This happens even if I purge svn-workbench and install it by itself:

The same issue has been reported for a handful of unrelated packages:
  hplip-data: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=724705 
  cloudprint: https://github.com/davesteele/cloudprint-service/issues/2

The problem was fixed by manually upgrading the package python:any; then 
svn-workbench
was properly reconfigured.

Perhaps adding a dependency on python:any version 2.7.5-5 or greater would avoid
this installation problem?

thanks,
