Hi,
This approach cannot be used to fix incompatibilities with newer
versions of packages in Debian, because older versions of your
build-dependencies cease to be available during builds once newer
versions of them have been built. See https://bugs.debian.org/1118044.
The available options are basically as follows:
* Make python-igraph compatible with the new version of igraph
* Revert igraph to the older version
* (last resort, would need solid justification) Introduce a parallel
0.* version of igraph using different binary package names, so that
both old and new versions can remain in the archive
Thanks,
