Could be, otherwise I don't know why the range >= 3.0.2-1 && < 3.0.2-1.1~ doesn't resolve to the point 3.0.2-1. Anyway I think the bug is somewhat useful, because users should not install sylpheed-claws-gtk2 anymore and they get informed what they should install instead ;-) regards, -- Ricardo Mones http://people.debian.org/~mones «You are magnetic in your bearing.»
