libhighgui-dev has been removed altogether. Therefore, I wonder if an
acceptable solution would be to remove the version restriction in the
Conflicts.
Seemingly, I'd remove the version from the libcv-dev, libcvaux-dev
Conflicts as well (they are in the same situation, probably if you test
them you will find the same bug).
Are the other binaries that are affected by a similar situation?
