[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#549937: libboost-python1.40-dev: Python version problem in Depends

[Christian Marillat]

Package: libboost-python1.40-dev
Version: 1.40.0-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

This package Depends on python-dev but on of my package (xbmc not yet in
Debian) only build with python2.4-dev and conflicts with python2.5-dev but
don't need to depends on libboost-python1.40-dev.

If I remove python2.5-dev then python-dev, libboost-python1.40-dev and more
annoying libboost1.40-dev are removed.

So my package can be built.

A solution would to depends on python2.4-dev | python2.5-dev instead of
python-dev.

Christian
