Package: giggle
Version: 0.4.91-1
Severity: minor

Hi Andrea,

giggle depends on git-core (>= 1.5.6.3), which looks like it is
intended to exclude e.g. git from etch.  Unfortunately, git
1:1.4.4.4-4+etch3 from etch compares greater than 1.5.6.3 because of
the epoch.

I don’t think Debian supports upgrades straight from etch to squeeze
anyway, so it should be safe to drop the version from the dependency.
Alternatively, if you want to keep the explicit versioned dependency
for documentation and robustness, it should be (>= 1:1.5.6.3).

giggle in lenny has a similar problem.  git’s version has had an epoch
since 1:1.4.1-2, so I guess that version of giggle is meant to depend
on 1:1.4.4.3; since git in etch meets that requirement already, there
is no serious problem there, either.

Regards,
Jonathan

Aside: looking through your changelog, it is not clear when the git
dependency changed.  Such details can be helpful --- in this case,
they would have allowed me to figure out what the updated dependency
accomplishes.  I do not mean to point that out as a bug, just a
suggestion for the future.
