[Pkg-audacious-maintainers] Bug#489025: Same here, with workaround

[Francesco Poli]

Hi!

I also experienced the same problem as soon as I upgraded to
audacious/1.5.1-1 on a lenny amd64 box.

  $ audacious 
  amidi-plug(amidi-plug.c:amidiplug_init:97): init, read configuration
  amidi-plug(i_backend.c:i_backend_load:107): loading backend '/usr/lib/audacious/Input/amidi-plug/ap-alsa.so'
  amidi-plug(i_backend.c:i_backend_load:145): backend /usr/lib/audacious/Input/amidi-plug/ap-alsa.so (name 'alsa') successfully loaded
  Segmentation fault
  $ audacious 
  amidi-plug(amidi-plug.c:amidiplug_init:97): init, read configuration
  amidi-plug(i_backend.c:i_backend_load:107): loading backend '/usr/lib/audacious/Input/amidi-plug/ap-alsa.so'
  amidi-plug(i_backend.c:i_backend_load:145): backend /usr/lib/audacious/Input/amidi-plug/ap-alsa.so (name 'alsa') successfully loaded
  Segmentation fault

However, I found out that, after upgrading audacious-plugins
audacious-plugins-extra to their (current) unstable versions
(i.e.: 1.5.1-1), audacious is again able to start without segfaulting:

  $ dpkg -l | grep audacious | cut -b 1-60
  ii  audacious                            1.5.1-1            
  ii  audacious-plugins                    1.5.1-1            
  ii  audacious-plugins-extra              1.5.1-1            
  ii  libaudclient1                        1.5.1-1            
  ii  libaudid3tag1                        1.5.1-1

Hence, it seems that the problem lies in the dependencies being not
strict enough...

Package audacious/1.5.1-1 depends on audacious-plugins (>= 1.5.0) and
recommends audacious-plugins-extra (>= 1.5.0), audacious-plugins-extra
(<< 2.0~).

I think it should instead depend on audacious-plugins (>= 1.5.1),
recommend audacious-plugins-extra (>= 1.5.1), audacious-plugins-extra
(<< 2.0~), and maybe conflict with audacious-plugins-extra (<< 1.5.1).

Is this correct, or am I completely off-track?
