While this would probably make the package installable again, this is not the proper fix. Next bump and this happens again. irssi needs to arrange to provide a virtual package, e.g. irssi-abi-1 and must ensure that plugins pick up a proper dependency on this virtual package. Once the abi changes (and the virtual package is renamed), this will visibly trigger a transition. There are several packages in the archive doing this, I think proftpd is one of them. Andreas
