--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
The recently uploaded version depends on a version of spl that does not exist,
making it
unusable, and uninstallable. The attached patch, (a very slight modification of
that proposed in
881013, which had a >= instead of >>) addresses this (it is based off of the
0.7.3-1 source, not the -2 version).
Notice critically the presence of a '>>${source:Upstream-Version}.' with a
period (.) at the end.
This logic allows for a '-' extension, since it compares less than the '.',
rather than requiring
the exact version ${source:Upstream-Version}, which will never be in the
archives.
