That seems to me like a bug. PLF should integrate with 2006 official -
so any packages in plf should either
- be built against 2006 official (1)
or
- be in plf-devel (2)
or
- have their dependencies in plf (3)
I'd favour (3), i.e. where a plf package really needs a library which is
newer than the version in 2006 official, the library ought to be
included in PLF.
I've seen this happen also with gtkpod, which has a dependency on
libgpod which is nowhere to be seen.
