Thanks for the reply. However, I do believe this is still a bug in the dependency specification, since if the hdf5-tools package depends on the *latest* version of the libhdf5-1.8 package, then it should explicitly do so, to prevent installation when the correct version cannot be installed because e.g. it is being held back automatically by some other package (paraview in my case).
