Package: hgview
Version: 1.1.1-1
Severity: normal
hgview tries to install on lenny with -t unstable.
However, as you can see below, the installation fails, I think since
the python-support dependency is not tight enough. This is a fairly
nasty problem, because the removal fails because the preremoval
scripts bomb, so one has to go in and edit the preremoval scripts
manually.
The python-support version is stated as 0.5.3. However, this is a
really old version, and even the version in lenny is older. I've seen
this particular version used, and similar errors, in a couple of other
packages, so people must be getting this from some template.
Regards, Faheem.
