[Pkg-audacious-maintainers] Bug#490132: audacious: plugin package dependency not sufficiently tightly versioned

[Michael Deegan]

Package: audacious
Version: 1.5.1-1
Severity: normal

I tried audacious for the first time, today and was a little bit
disappointed at being presented with a SEGV before I'd even got as far as
playing a song. :P

About 60% of the time, enabling the status icon plugin resulted in
something like:

    Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Further investigation suggests that it was probably due to differing
versions of audacious and audacious-plugins in lenny at the moment, as
upgrading the plugins package to the version in unstable cures this
particular problem.

If plugins really do depend on a specific build of audacious (or vice
versa), then this should be reflected in the packages' dependencies.
