[pkg-fgfs-crew] Bug#850207: flightgear: Fresh install of 2016.4.3 does not work with dependent packages

[Daren Beattie]

Package: flightgear
Version: 1:2016.4.3+dfsg-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I installed a fresh copy of flightgear a day or two ago, along with its dependencies. The version on the main flightgear package is 2016.4.3, but all dependencies are version 2016.4.2. The flightgear startup dialog asked for the path to the data files. After a bit of googling and checking my system, I pointed it to /usr/share/games/flightgear. The dialog then complained "The chosen location (/usr/share/games/flightgear) contains files for version 2016.4.2, but this is FlightGear 2016.4.3. Please update or try another location".
I have not tried downloading a copy of the 2016.4.3 data from upstream. Presumably that would work, but I would prefer that the flightgear package dependencies be as strict as the game itself is, so that the installed game works as-is.
