Updating dia, I get :

> "dia-0.96.1-1006" (no matching packages/versions found)

Then, after fixing those deps (%r in unstable =1);

> Can't resolve dependency "gtk+2-shlibs (>=2.14.4-102)" for package  
> "dia-0.96.1-1006" (no matching packages/versions found)

(%r =2)

Apparently, those pkgs  got different %r for 10.5,
but this is no reason for excluding 10.4 users..
A priori, deps should be only on %v (i.e., %v-1),
except if prior %r were broken pkgs, in the sense
that dependent pkgs would get a wrong build.
Were they ?

I realise this may be hard to keep track of,
and on the the other hand imposing rebuilds on all
users when there is just a problem with one
OS version may seem hard, if it is just to keep
%r is sync ..

It also sounds weird to propose the introduction
of a new field, that would be the minimal %r
dependent packages have to require to get a
correct build with this %v  ..

Is there really no way to fix pkgs so that they
work on both 10.4 and 10.5 ??
Isn't this what configure scripts are doing
everyday, for vastly different systems ?
