Package: libboost-date-time1.33.0
Version: 1.32.0+1.33.0-cvs20050720-3
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 8.6.3

libboost-date-time1.33.0 (like the other libboost*1.33.0 packages)
specifies a versioned dependency of 

    libboost-date-time1.33.0 (<< 1.32.0+1.33.0-cvs20050721)

in its shlibs file.  This doesn't actually work the way you'd like it
to, because dpkg parses that as upstream version 1.32.0+1.33.0, Debian
revision cvs20050721, and consequently *less* than any Debian revision
of upstream version 1.32.0+1.33.0-cvs20050720.  Adding a -0 to the
upper bound will remedy that.

In the future, using a second + before cvs should avoid this failure
mode; however, that will not work now without introducing an epoch,
because dpkg considers foo+bar-baz to come before foo-bar-baz.  (You
can verify this with dpkg --compare-versions.)

Packages such as monotone that got built against the broken
libboost*1.33.0 packages will need rebuilding against fixed versions.
